Merry Christmas, mischief!

This is one of my favourite facts ever. It follows that a two-dimensional creature with a digestive tract would have to have a single mouth/anus opening, otherwise it would fall apart.

With that thought in mind, I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

By 'two-dimensional creature', are you referring to any specific celebrities?
