When I first knowledge of fred onto this list, it never occoured to me to
set forth it's limitations.  I am here to do this now.

Fred is a small universe.  In fact, it is small in many ways.  It only
contains one solar system, with only one small planet and a small star.
The planet has one continent and a large ocean.  The continent is small,
roughly the size of Texas and a few scattered islands.  The continent has
one large city, named Berkeley, with a suburb named Bob.  Otherwise it is
all wilderness.

I created Fred with the help of an infinite improbabalility drive.  To
create a universe out of nothing takes more energy that our sun could
provide if it were to burn all of it's fuel in a time span of a
microsecond.  So I had to give it ingredients.  I threw a clump of dirt
into a swimming pool in order to create texas.  I added a boulder to act as
the core of planet fred.  I threw in some legos for structure.  I tossed in
various bits of vegitation to create plantlife, and I threw in my cat to
give it animal life.  I then threw in my refrigerator to give it a variety
of microbiology.  Then I threw in a immigrant for low cost labor (ain't I
mean?).

Then I gave it information.  I threw in all my textbooks.  I stole some
more textbooks and threw them in as well, these created the professsors of
fred.  I tossed in a large part of my sci-fi books for technology, and
tossed in rosemary's baby for some truly evil undertones.  I then started
on the movies.  I added all of the james bond movies (except 'a view to a
kill', and 'never say never again' 'cause they sucked, and goldeneye 'cause
I don't have a copy), all three star wars, apollo 13, wyatt earp, and
bladerunner, these gave it action, adventure and cool special effects.  

I then added a well worn gi, and a lot of jackie chan movies to give it
fighting ability, and a horde of sensei willing to teach.

I then started the infinite improbabality drive.  I gave it a pan galactic
gargle blaster, a piece of fairy cake, a jelly baby, and a nice hot cup of
fresh tea. I then input the correct inprobability, and watched it work.  

Within a few minutes all that was left at the bottom of the pool was fred.
Fred was about the size of a grain of sand.  I buried it.

Then I created the portals. They were easy.  Pieces of Oak and a piece of
paper with the dimentional co-ordinates of fred printed upon.  The infinite
inprobability drive worked like a charm.

Then I destroyed the drive.  I ended selling the golden parts to a jeweler,
and melting the rest into a doorstop.

Fred has no internal magic.  I created it with none so that it would be
near impossible to trace.  There is no Jhusenkyo there, there is no cure
for the curses.  There is only a place to train and to stay out of the
animates reach.

That is all.
