- It seems that that's what one always does, doesn't it? Going back to good old

- replaced by a good cache program.

- In fact, no gods anywhere play chess. They prefer simple, vicious games,
- where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go Straight to Oblivion; a key
- to the understanding of all religion is that a god's idea of amusement is
- Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs.
