"Eric S. Raymond" <esr@thyrsus.com>:> By the way, the footnote read as follows:>> "The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known> as a three-alarmer. Pooh."This is getting weird. I did a Google search for "lllama"and found this, apparently related to some sort of roleplayinggame: From: Alex Yeager (YeagerAW@maritz.com) Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 Type: Plot Name: Three-L Lllama Graphic: A building on fire. Quote: Ogden Nash was wrong! They DO exist! Text: Disaster! This is an Instant Attack to Destroy any Place. Its Power is 12, increased by four for every undrawn Plot you throw onto the blaze. If the Place is Coastal, it may spend its token to defend itself. If the attack succeeds, the target is Devastated. If it succeeds by more than 6, the target is destroyed! Quote2: So where do I claim those silk pajamas?... Requirements: none Illamanated Conspiracy Proposed by "Yeager, Alex" (YeagerAW@Maritz.com) on Mon, 25 May 1998.So, was this Lllama spell inspired by the "three-alarmer" pun, oris it just a strange coincidence? Or is it some secret plot bythe PSU to stop us sleeping at nights? Inquiring minds probablydon't really want to know...Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+University of Canterbury, | A citizen of NewZealandCorp, a |Christchurch, New Zealand | wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc. |greg@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+
