My dream man, always to be just a dream.

DD is probably the famous quantum physicist David Deutsch.

What! David Deutsch? He's— famous! I saw him talk and I saw his book! I thought Evo's "dream man" was just "some quantum physicist"

(Haha, how pathetic "I saw him once!")

Hmmm... am I going to have to launch a lawsuit? Around here, DD is me... Danny Danger. Given that I have no math ability, though, I suppose that there's no possibility of us being mistaken for each other.

You can't spell Danger without Danny... Oh wait, that's not right...
