It is all normal to have a lot of deja vu when you make a journey across a multiverse ... > I have never been > able to find anything resembling a beautiful girl, You are not looking close enough, and also, the zoom movie remains a pure third person description.

You will not see beautiful girls, unless you look close enough, and from the right perspective. > or even a mother-in- > law, or a white rabbit. This seems to go against your conjecture. (remember also that "not seeing something" is not an argument of not-existence, like seeing something is not an argument for existence). If you want to see a white rabbit (*the* white rabbit), the best consists in looking at http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5XfQWKgf4M&feature=related As for the mother-in-law, I am not sure about your motivations ...
