It highly probable that George straddles a variety of divergent universes in which case he may be telling different but equally inaccurate truths without actually stating falsehoods.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time.

Bob Peck did turn into a tree at the end of Edge Of Darkness.

I remember my father telling me about it and reading about it in the tabloids of the day.

I remember seeing it on a copy taped off the television on VHS with a friend as a witness.

When I purchased the official tapes the scene was missing both my friend and myself were convinced the tape had been edited.

I then located a magazine published around the time of broadcast which stated Bob was meant to turn into a tree but he refused to let the writer and production team to do that to a character he was attached too.

Now you may say the memory has cheated there.

It's a group delusion backed up by nothing more than the plasticity of organic memory some may say.

Well I evoke brane theory and the many worlds theory of cosmology.

The universe I'm in has adjusted itself around me and I refuse to yield to the shifting shingles.

Physicists have just not caught up with George's unique position in the multiverse.

He hasn't just crossed over into a universe within which he is an anachronism, he is a fixed point in matrix of conflicting timelines all of which have their own reasons for confusing him.

Or maybe he is just getting old.
