I remember seeing the stairs and thinking where have I seen that before? Sad thing I remembered Yu-gi-Oh when yugi ended up going inside the puzzle...anyways who cares. But I'd seen the painting before back in an art book. It's not surprising though after all for the Godhand to reside there once in awhile is pretty trippy. But like Wraith said it they are cold patholofical beings and to control time and space you'd most certainly need mathematical knowledge even if it came like a 2nd nature to them. The stairs in a way just reinforces that, it shows just how warped it is if they reside there. Warp may notbe the best word but *shrugs* its the one I can think of right now. XD Anyways, I'm not sure why Miura would use it, it's something he'd have to be asked after all.
