Ah, so it was in fact Ancient Egypt who invented Furries.

Good to know!

And of course, in today's "4th Ed" D&D, it's the Nine Hecks, there are no bewbies to be seen and you can't even be a Monk or Chaotic Good :(

Which is why I play Pathfinder. If you liked D&D 3.5, you'll like Pathfinder.

Yup, I do play Pathfinder!

You can't be chaotic good? Did they just totally rework the alignment system?

If by "Rework" you mean "Completely and utterly rape to oblivion". They changed it so now there are only 5 Alignments "Good" "Evil" "Lawful Good" "Chaotic Evil" and "Unaligned". Yup, you can't even be a True Neutral Druid. Oh wait, you can't be any form of Druid, because they didn't include them as a base class either!

As someone who played AD&D 'way back in the day' (early 80's baby!), what would be the "best" of the Old School Systems for me?

In all honesty, (since 4e is the new shiz, so 3.5 redux could technically be called Old Skool) try out Pathfinder, and use the AD&D books as reference material. That's what I do

I highly doubt Jesus was Lawful Good. Chaotic Good is a better fit imo.

We wont go into this here, but in D&D strict obedience is Lawful.

And Jesus was soooo the epitome of Strict Obedience, with his not-flipping-off-the-money-changers-in-the-temple and his general defiant attitude to the Romans. </sarcasm>

Obedience without Question would be Lawful Neutral.

I once granted my party a wand that could make an infinite amount cold, bitter tea.

Irony then struck when it saved their lives when the Cleric became Poisoned and Comatose (Completely by random chance) when they were in the middle of the desert, 3 weeks from the nearest town/oasis and all their provisions having been destroyed by the raiders who caught the Cleric with a Poison Arrow.

Great lulz ensued.
