Given the artistic talent he previously demonstrated by cloning
the Heaven's Gate web site, I don't doubt Wirt could come up
with a real money-maker here;  by putting up an online takeoff
of the Kenny Kingston Psychic Hotline, et. al.....  yup:  I can
see it all now (visualize appropriate graphics on each side of
the following text;  beaming Vestal Virgins in togas ala early
Roman Empire decor or etc.):

....  and then:  Only other thing that would be needed is a
small IMAGE database, containing a reasonable number of
text phrases incorporating the usual words in various ways;
i.e.:  money, sex, boy/girlfriend, wife, husband, vacation,
pregnant, doctor, lawyer, scandal, etc.  Throw in a random
order generator to mix-master the phrases on a continuous
basis, and deliver "no waiting on hold", near-zero response
time psychic readings to as many concurrent customers as
the local ISP can handle...

...  Done well, it might even generate pretty good cash flow...

...  scary....  back to work....
