What's this about a job????
I am the self-fulfilling prophecy. Give love, and you WILL receive love. Let your every answer, your every action and reaction, your every desire, be rooted in love.

Well, see, some us don't have the food offerings like YOU get from your followers. We actually WORK for our keep. ;)

I read a fascinating article last month on black holes. Apparently they can be tuned to work as supercomputers. Only if you factor in Hawking radiation and quantum tunneling/teleportation.
"Oh of course," the Navigator said with faint mocking in his voice, "you have probably heard of House Praetus. We have a palace on Holy Terra. Like all powerful groups, we also have our enemies. Do you honestly think someone like you matters?" - A dissolute noble.

Lore, you got Paul's attention with that one. Could you post a citation for the article for him to look up at UF's library?

I just created a Watch username for Paul. He had quite a few comments on the article, but no time to write them up now. He appears to have at least followed the equations, as he was a physics major for undergrad.

I am hopeful that maybe this will get him to post on the Watch...

Some of them. At this stage, my understanding of relativity in the equations is lacking. The article is heavy.

Don't know how else to put this, hope I'm not being rude or anything....

What's happening with The Fallen and Odal?

I have a horrible suspicion I've missed somethings important..?

Regarding one of Nor Yekith's comments in the game. I understand people might take offense, but we're dealing with a malicious deity. I'm sorry if some people might take offense, but please understand this is fiction. Nor is identiftied with evil, so there is no way my comments condone his actions. I play Nor in such a way to make him utterly despicable. I can understand if some will take offense to that.
