"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
In the song, London Bridge, it starts off with someone saying "oh snap" in an echoey voice.

Some people it seems have no sense of humor. Good for them and they are free to dwell upon all that is negative. Maybe the universe truly owes them an ample apology. Feel free to rant as well.

Frazz I think Kilkrazy answered that in the "Ships" thread. Its something from before the time of easily carried radios and they were used by police to call for back up.

BrotherStynier pretty much got it. When telephones had wires (yes they really did!) there were police boxes with phones to ring the police. I believe that they were also shlters for the officers (hence it's not just a phone on the wall but a shed thingy).

Correct me if i'm wrong also please.
I still don't get this oh snap thing though....
Phones with wires? No way, covenant that cant be true, please say it isn't so... wait no I remember them.
According to wiki
In addition to a telephone, they contained equipment such as an incident book and a first aid kit.
Also apparently there are modern ones in Boston.
I recall "Oh Snap" being used in a VW commercial or two.
