OK, so this wasn't directed at me, but since any mention of Sandman causes me
to jump up and down and around and around (although I don't bear any other
resemblance to Delirium, I promise) I thought I would respond.  The Endless
are "anthropomorphic personifications"...there are seven of them and they have
been around since the beginning of the universe...Going from oldest to
youngest there are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire & Despair (the
twins), and Delirium.  (Although I think Gaiman contradicts himself in the
relative ages of Destiny and Death.)  They're from Neil Gaiman's wonderful
wonderful wonderful _Sandman_ books.  (Comic books or graphic novels, take
your pick.)

Death is this ultra-cool, funny, sweet, sensible, just-all-around-great little
gothette in the series.  The trade paperbacks are in most comic stores and a
lot of music stores (at least in this area)...HIGHLY recommended.  (Although
I'm rather a Gaiman fanatic, so bear that in mind.)  In addition to some other
good/great novels and short story collections, Gaiman collaborated with Terry
Pratchett on the book Good Omens.

Sorry to take up bandwidth on this...I guess the excitement of it all got to
be too much for me.

Take care, all
Elizabeth
