...sins are so great, Saddam is sent to a special section reserved for those doomed to burn the longest. But the fear imposed by the Iraqi dictator's secret police extends even to the netherworld.

Jedi Master Miracle Man, took the microphone at the end of "Funkmove" and announced the entrance of the bearer of a "sublime message to the people," the "Missionary Monk Messiah."
