I have discovered another approach.  CNRI put in a cleam room on the
second floor last year.  I recently discovered a little door behind
some metrology device in a corner of the clean room.  The door opens
onto a tunnel that leads directly into Guido's mind.  Unfortunately,
it won't be of much use for a pumpkin-holder or channeler, because
after about 15 minutes you are deposited on the shoulder of the Dulles
Toll Road.
