Of Rhinos & Griffins

Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is, "You like stuff." Which is not a good insult at all. Like, "You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness."

(This story has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with rhinos or griffins. It does, however, have a lot to do with Morse code, butterflies and a very tricky treasure hunt.)
