<p class=BasicParagraph>Nearly everyone knows this wonderful story and its simple
premise: What might happen in pursuit of adventure? Even though we know the
story, we still follow the waist-coated white rabbit with the watch as though
we were children again. The classic tale is reinvented by The Manhattan
Project, playing with logic in ways that have made it timeless, while providing
just a slightly darker twist.<o:p></o:p></p>
