S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Lyra, you left out my other bit, about "Are there any other alternate universes I should know about?".

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I did a quick read through and my only initial correction is this:

Q: Who is the Ripper?
A: Giles, when he was young and wild and into some serious black magic. The nickname (probably a variation of "Rupert") was revealed by Ethan Rayne in "The Dark Age" (S2). The quintessential latter-day Ripper act is probably killing Ben in "The Gift."

It was revealed by Ethan during "Halloween." Also, many here have argued that by having Giles put his glasses on before killing Ben, the writers were effectively saying "This is not Ripper!Giles."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I'd say "Ripper" not "the Ripper."

Is it important to mention that Joyce called him Ripper throughout Band Candy?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks, Lyra Jane.

Thanks, Lyra Jane.

Oh yeah, I meant to say that too. Nice work.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Q: Who is the Ripper?

It's just "Ripper." No "the." Like Angel. Or Cher.

Also, many here have argued that by having Giles put his glasses on before killing Ben, the writers were effectively saying "This is not Ripper!Giles."

Yup.

Up with the sun

You're welcome.

And, you guys know how I said "Do with it what you will"? That was a typo for, "Further corrections are in the hands of the hivemind, or whoever's HTMLizing this puppy." Sorry -- I'm not trying to be a bitca, I just know I won't have any more time to put into it this week.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Since I said I'd post it on my site, I guess I'll cut and paste into FrontPage and do edits.

Halloween reference, just Ripper, what else?

Am-Chau: If you want to do corrections, that's great. But I'll take care of the html since I want it to have the same code as the original FAQ. Please don't use Front Page. It's bloated and it'll be easier for me to code from plain text.
