Alana, Do you know what animal your daemon would be?

It is so awkward saying "the *His Dark Material* books", with "the" and "His" right together like that. But I can overlook that because the title is otherwise very cool. It comes from a line of Paradise Lost. As Satan stares into the abyss, he comtemplates the possibility that God might "ordain / His dark materials to create more Worlds" ... it connects dark matter and parallel universes altogether in this one line. (Remember to pronounce it "His Dark Materyals" to fit Milton's ten-syllable meter.)
