 This repository is an alternate universe that evolves around the trolley problem. The reality of the universe is whatever the master branch says.
 
 # What is happening?
-At this point in time, there is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. On a side track, there is one person tied to the tracks. Coincedentally, there is also a fat man on a bridge above the track. If you do nothing, the other contributer, physics, will soon update master such that the trolley kills the five people. 
-You `checkout` all branches reality can take it this point, and find that among others there is a `lever`, a `fatman`. Which is the more ethical option?:
-- `git pull lever`
-- `git push origin fatman:master`
+The lever has been pulled, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it killed one person. The fat man and the other five people are saved.
