 ==Background==
 Before the threefold ship was explained, there had been a great debate among the followers of Leptherio.  The question remained unanswered as to what happened to a dinosaur, or for that matter, a man reading about dinosaurs, when he/she/it died.
-One group believed that the body disintegrated releasing a bright white lamb into the forest, that was then herded by a Grultch, a large wingless bird with a large winged smile, or "flyle" (because it flies (and is a smyle)).

For he who is dead should be mourned, but should he not also be considered a great posessor of yams? Take solace in the vast barge full of yams of varying sizes, grouped into bundles and stored in crates, stacked 5 crates high. This is the afterlife, not a destination, but a journey, on a ship. Your mind doesn't go on the same ship as you, because its tired of you and your friends. It goes on its own ship. is that not meet? It is meet that the mind should have a ship, but not meet that the ship should be better or larger than the body's ship. The mind's ship is pretty small, to be honest. Its sort of rounder too, and doens't have as many flags and poles. The third ship as i started is the best one, its the one that has all those delicious yams. You can basically NEVER eat all those yams. A friend of mine died when i was a child. I was playing in a thicket and a coiled Raspivont snaped out and bit him on his hind legs. After a great and painful agony, he passed into the death realm. IF he had an average of 10 yams a minute, 24 hours a day for the past 48 years, he would have eaten 252,453,888 yams. Trust me, that wouldnt' even make a dent. Maybe if he could eat that many in one day, then sure, by now, you might notice a TINY dent in those yams. but from what i've been told, they actually restock the yam ship whenever th threefold ship stops to let you off so you can see some old statues or waterfalls and things. Actually, the first ship, the ship with the body in it, its not that big. The mind ship is tiny. The yam ship is really the main ship. It may be, actually, that when yams die, they go to the yam ship, and then we go along to keep the yams company. Maybe we shouldnt' eat the yams. okay, i'm done."
