I think I could do something with, but the warmouse? Get that think away from me! lol -- For purposes of orientation, if you find yourself in a steamy Devonian landscape and notice that a dragon is about to devour a beautiful girl nearby, you have undoubtedly stumbled into a lost world. Your problem is to save the girl and then live happily ever after with her. But if, on the other hand, you find yourself in Piccadily Circus, London, and notice that a beautiful girl is leading a dragon on a plastic lead down Regent Street, to no one's amazement but your own, then you are in a parallel world and your problems are entirely different.
