apocatastasis

A restoration to the original condition. A name given to the theological belief that a time will come when all free creatures will share in the grace of salvation, even the devils and lost souls. According to this dogma, the reason hell exists is to separate good from evil in the soul. It is therefore not an eternal punishment, but an amelioration. A time will come when all evil shall cease to be, since it has no existence of its own apart from the free will.

"When I started going to church again, my acne cleared up."

Houston Galleria

Opened in 1970, Houston's Galleria is the original, in the sense that it was the first mall in the U.S. to fuse a mall with hotels and office towers, not to mention an ice skating rink bigger than Rockefeller Center. The mixed-use concept has been used in other malls since then, but this was the first, and therefore important in the evolution of malls. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Italy. Currently about 375 stores and 50 restaurants.

the Galleria (with a small t) owns all others, except the original in Milan.

Frylock

Smoldering, intelligent, hovering anthropomorphic red box of french fries. One third of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force on adult swim. Only one of the three having destructive super powers - a heat blast from the eyes. Has a dark gray goatee and what appears to be a lightening bolt scar under his left eye. Wears dental braces which are seen only when he smiles, which is rare. Has a peculiar large blue jewel attached to his back, perhaps the energy source of the heat ray and/or his levitation ability. Has limited use of the fries as appendages. Frylock is usually the most rational member of the team, the comedic "straight man." A picture of Frylock with a young Dr. Weird (an ATHF nemesis) on Frylock's bookshelf, and an anatomy chart of Frylock on his bedroom wall, suggest early ties with Dr. Weird.

Frylock: Shake this is an important scientific tool, I mean - surgery, space exploration, can't you just see the applications?
Shake: Yes... make my johnson bigger!
Frylock: It's NOT a toy, Shake.
Shake: We're doing my johnson first, and lemme find some chicks and upgrade their butts! 'Cause baby likes back.
