“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

A hymn by Chesterton

One of my favourite poems ever: O God of Earth and altar, bow down and hear our cry, Our Earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide, Take not Thy thunder from us, but take away our pride From all that...

Domain Query: Logic, and the lack thereof

Alexandra Bolus posted this rather amusing comment on one of my more unmedicated rants from a while back: If your theory on evolution was correct, that would mean that women, too, would be programmed to only be attracted to men with long hair. After all, there is...

He’s back

One of our best has finally returned to semi-regular posting after a long absence. Halfbreed, who graciously provided his insights and advice on the game some time ago, disappeared for a while after about May this year, but then he resurfaced a few weeks ago. If...

The care and feeding of deep introverts

It’s always an interesting experience being a deep introvert in a highly extroverted society. Even if you work in a relatively cloistered environment (like I do), you’ll still experience the life-draining, soul-sucking presence of other people no matter...

Introvert Kryptonite

Didact walks into a bookstore… Didact: “OK, I’m not going to spend more than thirty minutes in here, and I’m not spending more than $50 on three items, I know exactly what books I want to buy, and I know exactly where to- hey, look,...

To Infinity, and Be- *hic*

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “moonshine”: He’s a decade off being able to drink it but that hasn’t stopped a Colorado sixth-grader from developing a way to brew beer in space.  Michael Bodzianowski, 11, will soon get the...
