"A minister, seeking to reverse the years of neglect that had ravaged his church, gathered his wealthiest parishioners into the sanctuary, to offer prayers for guidance.
"The very wealthiest man looked around and said, 'LORD, I see that your house here is in dreadful condition, and I wish to contribute $100 to the building fund.'
"Right then, brothers and sisters, a large chunk of roof fell and struck his head.
"When he came to he said, 'LORD, you have given me to understand that the structure is in even worse shape than I had observed. I wish to increase my contribution to $1000!'
"And the minister looked upward with tears in his eyes, and prayed, 'Hit him again, LORD! Hit him again!'"
The Church Of The Otters (t'CotO) is in dreadful condition, and is being rebuilt from the ground up.

So hop to it. Submit to The Great Otter! Submit! SUBMIT!
And a word to the wise: There are many peoples, many beliefs, many deities, but there is only ONE of The Great Otter to whom you may submit. Thou shalt have no other OTTERS before The Great Otter! It doesn't matter whether you also worship Discordia or the Barfing-Yak or a Volkswagen or Mel Lyman, just be sure to put The Great Otter first in your submission-list.
And that's not all! But that's all for here/now. Click on some links here and explore the vast vicious vacant verdant vapid domain of The Great Otter and all the dominions and flunkies thereof. Then become one yourself. Immediately, if not sooner.
WARNING: Deityhood entails certain responsibilities. Consult the rulebook and also see what others may discover about you. Forewarned is forearmed. Don't get caught off-guard. You don't want to spend eternity imprisoned in a black hole, eh?
