In response to Message 1253 from Personality:
Fermat's Last Theorem was this:
The equation a^n + b^n = c^n has no integer solutions for n > 2.
It is called Fermat's Last Theorem because it was discovered after he died. He owned a copy of Arithmetica by Diophantus, and in the margin on one of the pages he wrote, "It is impossible to write a cube as a sum of two cubes, a fourth power as a sum of two fourth powers, and, in general, any power beyond the second as a sum of two similar powers. For this, I have discovered a truly wonderful proof, but the margin is too small to contain it."
Fermat lived from 1601 to 1665, and this theorem was not proven until the 1990's. It is now considered highly unlikely that he actually had the alleged proof.

Role Playing Games. Originally they were the Dungeon and Dragon-type spoken game, with maybe a bunch of dice. However, they quickly were put on computers. If they're on computers then they're usually the sort where you walk around killing bad guys, getting gold, buying the Nipple Ring of Strength (if you are using one of these peoples random-word generators), etc etc.
A couple years ago I started to create one in which you were the illigitimate son of the (ex) Angel of Death and a mortal woman, and you start the game as an acolyte in a monastary with direct instructions from the Archangel Michael to stop an upcomming revolution against God, which by the end of the game you realise is being led by your father and is actually a good thing. There was virtually no fighting and even less G-Strings of Dexterity, though. It was quite fun, and I was using this good RPG creation engine. I had my brother, who is five years younger than me, to come up with the details in the plot, as he is a much better fiction writer than I am...

A man with unpopluar policatical opions died today. all of minnesota will grieve his loss. I saw the man and met him. I admired him and I am sadden by our loss.
Why does "Guest" keep picking fights with me and calling me horrible names? Do I really need snappy comebacks for every foul word in the English language?
This is where the [type] function would come in handy. You just lump all the rude words you can think of into [rudewords], and then have keyphrases such as "You're [rudewords]" : "Yeah, well noone's more (subj) than your little sister!" or something.
