NEEDS MOAR STUFFED ALLIGATOR MAGIC

O.o

Whats that?

[Golden Applesauce]

Every magician has a stuffed alligator hanging from the ceiling!  Some hypothesize that it is, in fact, one stuffed alligator being hung from multiple ceilings.

I'm not a magician. I don't do party tricks. I'm a bio-mage. We don't hold with those silly stereotypes.

Not even hats and wands?

wow, i totally missed that short derail .. "title of most infuriating Dutchie" lol, what an idiot.

well, after the past few Dutch to come along this board, i don't doubt you all think we're a bunch of spaced out potsmoking hippies without any proper manners whatsoever.

sorry about that.

That is not at all true 000... you have manners.

An International Relations spellbook would be total crap.

to be fair btw, there's at least two other Dutch on this board that also have manners. So that kind of evens the score to three versus three, which is the same ratio as you american spags have, being lots versus lots.

Only the Scottish consistently (and traditionally!) manage to steer clear of this wishy-washy spaggis*.

Modern Spellbooks

David Seah writes about how hand-written notebooks about computer programming languages are in fact a lot like spellbooks filled with incantations.

(The difference being that if you follow the incantation step by step, you will get a 100% success rate, which might make these things even better than actual spellbooks )

from a 'human intellect' perspective

maybe that means computers are just really gullible

I've noticed that, in my Java education.  Computers are like some sort of stupidity elemental.

An International Relations spellbook would be total crap.

I am going to put this to the test, starting this weekend.
