If you are a Piers Anthony fan (or even just know who he is) you should listen to the act one of Episode 470 from This American Life. First aired July 27, 2012 but they recently just replayed it on the podcast.

The story before it is interesting in a crazy way also. Act two wasn't my style.
Thanks I will check that out. Read a ton of Piers Anthony about 20 years ago.
