Just a point, but when I asked a mate who knows all about this stuff if it was anything to do with pluto he nealy spat his coffee out, tbh I cant remember why, but the JUDGEMENT card is also in PLUTO.

I think Cthulhu is a big scary god from pluto who's been called down to destroy the world, and it cant happen till Bree's been whatevered. I need sleep, I'm delerious.

In the Cthulhu Mythos, Pluto is refered to as Yuggoth (watch those tags!), inhabited by strange fungi moth creatures who collect brains of humans in jars and transport them to Pluto for interrogation purposes, some weird kind of science/magic enables them to revivfy the brain, see The Whisperer in Darkness by H.P Lovercraft. Also Lovercraft didn't connect Cthulhu or any of his Great old ones with elements in the stories, Dereleth and later writers were responsible for that. Here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuggoth
