Mad is a god.

She takes the form of a microscopic, bad-tempered squirrel.

Mad created the cosmos eight billion years ago.

If you believe in Mad, she will visit you to thank you.

If you do not believe in Mad, she will not care at all.

Mad's most sacred site is Tatul in Bulgaria.

3. Do not covet oxen.

4. Retreat if seven birds approach from the west.

5. Erect a giant pink sculpture of Mad in the centre of the settlement.
