Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

11So two hyperintelligent pandimensional beings \
12walk into a bar. One turns to the other and says, \
13"Did you remember to check the end state \
14of that simulation we were running?" The other \
15says, "No, I thought that you did?" To which \
16the first replies, "[Oh shit][], we missed it. \
17I suppose we must do all of this again. Barkeep,
18
19two beers please." The bartender nods in that way \
20that bartenders do, pours the two beers, \
21expertly, by the way, just so, and hands them \
22to the first [hyperintelligent pandimensional][] being. \
23The second one pulls a few singles out of his \
24wallet, places them on the bar, and the pair \
25turn around and begin walking toward a table \
26in the middle of the mostly-empty bar. The bar- \
27tender picks up the money, fans it out, frowns, \
28and calls to his patrons' backs: "Hey, this \
29isn't enough!" The two turn around simultan- \
30eously, with parity, and stare at him. A beat.
31
32One of them, the one without the beer, breaks \
33the silence by exclaiming, "Oh dear god, I'm \
34sorry! I didn't know your prices went up since \
35last time. What do I owe you?" The bartender \
36says, "Oh, just another [dollar][]-fifty." The being \
37reaches in his back pocket, slides out his \
38wallet, looks in smiling, and frowns when he sees \
39it's empty. He looks to the other and says, \
40"You got a [buck][]-fifty I can borrow?"
41
42The second hyperintelligent pandimensional being \
43considers this. He sets the beers down \
44on the table, pulls out his own wallet, opens \
45it, and frowns. "I'm broke too," he says.
