Reading is fundamental, fools.
"I'm through with this book, peasant. NEXT!"
Here I have recently finished a book which is helping to hone my skills in character and symbol interpretation. I like to call this amazing ability "Reading". Soon, my mastery of the written word will be complete, and I will be able to decipher the technical and operational specifications of many of your more sophisticated weapon systems and electronic devices, placing myself in the position to most easily subdue and rule you all.
Until then, pass me the next edition of Curious George. That whimsical primate is always causing a ruckus!
