                                 Rumors



Shhhh.... Don't wake Number One.  He's sleeping, and he's very
cross when he wakes up.  How strong is Number One? Too strong.
I say we all join up against him to try to splash up against his
insurmountable might and lose everything we've built up to now.
They say he's one of the Old Ones, and he picks his teeth with
the melted bones of AOO nobles.  They say he's one of the heroes
of the Resistance; and they say he's a craven coward because he
hidd all his pieces from the AOO and ran from every encounter.
They say that he's a master tactician; and they say that he can't
even get the syntax right to stack nobles.  Some people call him
Maurice, the wise ones just shake their heads.  They say if you ever
need a favor, you should ask Number One; and they say if you make a
deal with Number one you should count your fingers after shaking
hands.
But I could be thinking of the wrong guy.



Pathetic.

Just 2 rumors, and no press in last week's Times.

Come on people, do I have to start attacking people
to get some words flying again?




When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again.  But
he better have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell.



What position statistic should we use to judge who is # 1, 2, 3, etc.?
