Right, we're going to try and list 250 magical items which have misleading names. This should occupy you for a long time. Ring of Fire Protection: Prevents water from dousing nearby fires. Potion of Spider Climbing: Allows the drinker to climb spiders. Amulet of the Planes: When activated, the wearer transforms into a Boeing 747. Helmet of Water Breathing: This helmet can breathe underwater. Unfortunately, you cannot. Boots of Lurking: You can never quite find these boots until they have something inane to add. Shocking Blade: Anyone who sees this sword will be shocked for some reason. Even the wielder will be stunned for a round upon drawing it. Scabbard of Smooth Drawing: Allows the bearer to draw excellent pictures without making mistakes. Ring of Invisiblity: This ring is invisible. Radiant Scepter: This scepter powerfully radiates visible light... and every other wavelength in the EM spectrum. Enjoy your cancer, assuming the microwaves don't kill you first. Pants of the Hammer: Pants that cannot be taken off because you can't touch them. 10 so far. Remember to keep count!

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

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. |

"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." ~ HK-47 |
