NEW FROM GAMES WORKSHOP!!

PSYKER CEREAL! YES, THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, YOU TOO CAN BE LIKE THE
EMPEROR, AND CONSUME HUNDREDS OF PSYKERS A DAY!! (Well, ours are just
little crunchy corn bits). Each corn crunchy has been magnificently
sculpted by Jes Goodwin to look like one of TEN, count 'em TEN Primaris
Psykers. Have a "taste" of the Imperium at the beggining of _your_ day,
_every_ day! Oh, and by the way, we asked Jes if he could eventually make
real models out of the molds for the cereals. They will be available
soon for only $15 each next month!!

PS - I saw the 5th Element too. Great movie. Hadn't really thought
of the parallels, but now that you mention it...
