While RK is not always the most lighthearted of stories (what can you expect with a guilt-racked former assassin as a protagonist?), it still has plenty of humorous moments, and seems to lend itself well to parody...especially when one has been deprived of sleep for long periods of time, has ingested massive quantities of sugar, and is supposed to be doing something else, like working on a research paper...er, um, yeah.
