It's cool, Borsook. What language DID you read it in?

And Lu, thanks ^_^ Makes me feel all special. I get to learn Shakespeare next semester! (as if acting in 4 of his plays doesn't teach you enough :P)
Oh, Rainbow Hitler, you're so dreeeeamy!

   You definitely ARE special, by what I've read (looks like I just repeat my previous compliment though, not very inventive of me)

Technically speaking it's the "dusk of the gods" not end of the world...
   Glad that you understood what I meant

@ Borsook
Don't even think about it

rotschopf because it means red head, and that's what I am. A naturally-bred red head. The Drow comes from my Shadowrun days where I played a darkelven pain technican and somewhere along he line, my group just started to call me The Drow because I was the only Darkelf in sight.

Take care!

luv & hugs

Shadowrun was great! Well, except for having to throw 12d6 all the time... ;)

Uh-huh. One of the reasons why I moved on to Saga and GURPS. I simply didn't want to buy tons of d6 anymore because after every session, there seemed to be a lot less than I brought to the game  ;D

While it's obvious to anyone who's played the games, mine is an Ur-Quan Lord (or Master) from the Star Control series.  The avatar is same, obviously.

My nick is a shortening of Moon Pigeon, a name I use in other places. I saw there was someone already named Moonsomething here and I didn't want to cause confusion. Moon Pigeon comes from the time this chick I knew was looking at a photograph of birds flying in front of the moon and she wanted to know how they got up there.

They used magical bird space flying magic!
Perhaps they were Miniature Giant Space Birds? XD
