Last week I was on vacation, working around the house. The one big project I finally finished was putting ceramic tile on the bathroom floor. I began the project quite some time ago, and just needed to finish the tiles around the edges where they needed to be cut.

When I was finished, there were newly placed tiles across the entrance to the bathroom. The instructions for laying the tiles said that no one should step on the tiles for twenty-four hours. So I instructed my family to leap over the threshold of the bathroom.

Now I wonder: By doing that, did I make them into Dagon worshipers and are then now subject to punishment?
