Evil thoughts, and Riddles

  Hello, Boris here.



  In X-RQ-ID: 4312, Brent Krupp mentioned
>Subject: Duck castrati...

  But thankfully didn't talk about that, just "fixing" ducks. The image of   a choir full of Daffys, Donalds, Hueys, Deweys & Leweys, etc., singing   in soprano duck voices is something that cost me much of what little   sanity I had left. Thanks a lot.



  In X-RQ-ID: 4317, Graeme Lindsell combines several suggested execution   methods:

> Which lead to the ever popular "cut his throat, throw him out the
>window into the pit of crocodiles and then fill it with dirt". Needs
>a good choreographer.

  But you could sell tickets and make a fortune!



  In X-RQID: 4318, the ever inventive Nick Brooke compares New Pelorian to   Orwellian Newspeak. You are an *evil*, *evil*, man, Nick. In a less   amoral society, I'm sure you would have long since been burned.

  BTW, thanks for the idea.



  And finally, the subject that's on everybody's mind, Devin's riddles.   The first seems easy enough for everybody (though Paul Reilly makes a   cryptic comment about the First and Second Gifts of the Dark Woman;   who is this, Subere, or Nakala? And what was her second gift?)

  Number 2 seems to have been easy for everyone but me (duh).

  There have been a number of guesses for #3, but I think everyone is off   the mark; I believe it's "fingers".

  Number four seems to be more difficult, but our Lord Argrath gives us   the answer. Number five again seems easy enough, as well as six.

  Seven seems a stumper: "Two cows and some trees with a squid running   through them lie on a bench and impart wisdom to the world." The bench   is what threw me, but after reflection, I believe it is "a book". Though   I think, given Sartarite manufacture, it would be "two cows and some   sheep"; if Dara Happan, "some reeds". But that's picking nits, they   were good riddles. Thanks Devin.



  Boris
