- A few days ago, someone asked about the Oracularities you don't see;
- the ones rejected by the Priesthood. I thought it might be enlightening to
- show you some of the ones I typically reject. So I've culled a few that
- ordinarily would succumb to the 'd' key, and included them below. My
- comments, where present, are in square brackets.
-
- As you will see, you're not really missing a lot.

- Your question was:

- > This is a test of the Null-Query Generating System.
- > If this had been a real Null Query, there would have been nothing here.
- > This is only a test.
-
- And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

- And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
