Whew! Ok, first I move this daily bookmark to weekly... Hope you all don't go away either as on certain days half the comic was the comments ;-). Dion, you know the pageThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Would be interesting to know how many that "last" ascension post generated. DOH, stupid me, says 2583 right down there in the corner lol. That's a lot, even if it would take "reloads". And boy, doing something for a long long time and needing a break (or quitting altogether) is such a familiar feeling I wish you the best of luck...

Alive! Joy to the world. Ah, I shall wait a week or so before you guys send in a million posts and then I shall send my brilliant idea. By the way, Senor "Against the Quiz", it's not that hard a test is it?

The "quiz" is good. It keeps out prospective trolls (but, regrettably, not newts like JMesh). I'm a NetHack beginner (never got past level 6) and sometimes have to refresh the pageThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

See license for details. a few times before I get a question I can answer. I've never seen an opulent throneMethought I saw the footsteps of a throne Which mists and vapours from mine eyes did shroud-- Nor view of who might sit thereon allowed; But all the steps and ground about were strown With sights the ruefullest that flesh and bone Ever put on; a miserable crowd, Sick, hale, old, young, who cried before that cloud, "Thou art our king, O Death! to thee we groan." Those steps I clomb; the mists before me gave Smooth way; and I beheld the face of one Sleeping alone within a mossy cave, With her face up to heaven; that seemed to have Pleasing remembrance of a thought foregone; A lovely Beauty in a summer grave!

His forward stoop, with arms dangling past thick claw-footed legs to the ground, made it hard to tell. The hairless green skin moved upon his body. His head was a gash of a mouth, a yard-long nose, and two eyes which drank the feeble torchlight and never gave back a gleam. [...] Like a huge green spider, the troll's severed hand ran on its fingers. Across the mounded floor, up onto a log with one taloned forefinger to hook it over the bark, down again it scrambled, until it found the cut wrist. And there it grew fast. The troll's smashed head seethed and knit together. He clambered back on his feet and grinned at them. The waning faggot cast red light over his fangs.

[ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ] "Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Oh, I made that one up. Dudley is always getting killed by newts and JMesh is very bothersome so I call him a newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

It's only a hard test if you don't play nethack enough. It's OK, you'll soon be pulled in. And I'm certainly pleased that we have an explanation for why they stopped Tuesday, that could have been the next 'net conspiracy :)

AGAINST QUIZ: If you're so pissed off about the quiz, then don't post. I mean, what's the point in going through the agony of having to refresh ten times just to complain that you had to refresh that many times? Anyway, this week is getting better and better! First, Enterprise was canceled (die, bastard, die!), and now, Dudley's back! Well, sort of. At least he's not riding a gigantic horseKing Richard III: A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! Catesby: Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse. King Richard III: Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die: I think there be six Richmonds in the field; Five have I slain to-day instead of him. A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

I watched only two episodes of that temporal chroniton-infested crapathon, and then I had to watchThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts.

Voyager was all time all the time, and then Boobyprize was only worse. I like my generic space nazi plots without the chronitons, please! Hmm. I should try reviving the Star Trek patch sometime and add a Rick Berman monster so I can kill it in righteous vengeance.

I wonder, could AGAINST QUIZ possibly be JMesh using a different name? They certainly act alike.

Mantar: Heh, I like Voyager. :P It's my all-time favorite ST series; sure, most of the acting sucks, but it's philosophical enough for me, yet lightStrange creatures formed from energy rather than matter, lights are given to self-destructive behavior when battling foes.

Let's just say--for lack of a more substantial term--that it's easier to relate to Voyager than any other series. shrug Just my $0.02. :D Beowulf: Dion took the louts' comments out. Which is fortunate, as I didn't want to have to download a meg's worth (or unworth, as was the case) of comments.

Wait a minute AGAINST QUIZ, you've "been through every single comic in the archive" and yet you complain about refreshing the pageThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts.

If you paid attention to the panels you should be able to answer the questions without too much trouble. And how much time did you spend reading the archives? 2 hours at least would be my guess. It took you 5 minutes at the most to find a question you could answer and you complain?

Well, welcome aboard maheshjr2000! "space-man": Voyager was a decent Trek. Sure, I rolled my eyes through the warp 11 episode, the "Tuvix" gimmick, and all the 'temporal this-or-that' episodes, but I still watched. When it was good, it was good. Enterprise, well, that's another story. Heh.

t- a scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone, With many a scalding tear and many a groan, When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand, Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand. I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd-- I caught a finger: but the downward weight O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst The comfortable sun. I was athirst To search the book, and in the warming air Parted its dripping leaves with eager care. Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on My soul page after page, till well-nigh won Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied, I read these words, and read again, and tried My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

Oh, asterisks make things bold... Woah, I just got the quiz that asks what a fountainRest! This little Fountain runs Thus for aye: -- It never stays For the look of summer suns, Nor the cold of winter days. Whose'er shall wander near, When the Syrian heat is worst, Let him hither come, nor fear Lest he may not slake his thirst: He will find this little river Running still, as bright as ever. Let him drink, and onward hie, Bearing but in thought, that I, Erotas, bade the Naiad fall, And thank the great god Pan for all!
