Shame on you, good sir. Do I have to link you to TV Tropes?

Thank you. Duly appreciated. I actually googled it up. So it is all about Manassas, Va. vs Manasses, Mass. Hopefully the explanation doesn't ruin the joke for the US readers.

Manasses Mass?
About 9 kilos.

Pschhh! Seeing all possible futures is easy; you're not really the Kwisatz Haderach until you can tell the universe exactly which one is going to come true.

Thank you. I guess it's my turn to do a translation, so for the benefit of the metrically challenged reader 9 kilos is very close to 20 lbs. No way a bony youngster could have that much! A Man OTOH?
Come to think of it, 20 lbs is about the size of the slab of ham my wife cooks in the oven for each and every Christmas. [reaches, scratches, a satisfied grin]
