shrift, I think bon's advice to Allyson will work for you too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
" So Who Is This Jesus, Anyway?"
Isn't there a book (part of a trilogy) in HHGttG-verse entitled "Who is this God Person, Anyway?" or something very similar? (It's been ages since I last read HHG, I need to rectify that soon). If I was making up a pro-religious pamphlet, I'd try to avoid any titles that echoed those of made-up books in a comedy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.

HHGttG is...
"More popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty Three More Things to Do In Zero Gravity and more controversial than Oolon Coluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters: Where God Went Wrong, Some more of God's greatest Mistakes and Who Is This God Person Anyway?"

shrift, "do you want to pray with me" is jackhole code for "please punch me in the face or burn me with your cig." Next time you'll know.

I think I'm getting better at telling when to take back a delegated task, instead of continuing to explain the person who was supposed to do it exactly how to get the right answer. In this case, the "when" is after you give them formulae, and they still come back with nonsense numbers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well. I was just outside having a smoke, and a lady sat down next to me and handed me a pamphlet titled, " So Who Is This Jesus, Anyway?"
Have you checked to see if there's a sign taped to your back? This happens far too often to you.

But, as in most infectious disorders, genetic variation determines how susceptible you are to infection. TB ran right through some families and left others untouched.
Plus, TB's communicable, and the family members were right there, communicating, as it were. The poorer you were, the more likely you were to share a bed with the sick person, too.

I feel like a total moron, but I can't figure out how to use calculus to compare the area of a parabola segment and its inscribed triangle without doing waaaay more multiplication than seems appropriate. Anyone have any ideas?
