Very clean. (Though I want to recite 'You are old, Father
William' when I look at the 'Fun Stuff' link.)

The quotation reminds me of one of my all-time favorite
real-life quotations. Many years ago my architect friend
had to take calculus. The instructor walked in, surveyed
the auditorium, and in a thick Indian accent declaimed,
'People who do not know the calculus do not deserve to
live!'

The Fantasy Hero quiz falsely accuses me of failing to answer all the
questions... or did I miss something?

Ack! You aren't actually supposed to play around in there yet, I
haven't *finished* the new stuff. It isn't linked to from the rest of
my site anywhere.

I've only got reasons done for half of the fantasy types it selects for.
"Failing to answer all the questions" is what I'm using as a place
holder for the rest. When I'm done it should only turn up when, in
fact, you *didn't* answer all the questions -- and not even always then,
because there are only some combinations of unanswered questions that
will kill the selection criteria.

That quiz was *supposed* to be a cool promotion idea for when a
Racciman's World book get's bought. The plan was to make cute graphics
to go with it, meme it, and set it loose in livejournal and the rest of
blogdom. But then I made the mistake of telling my kids about the idea,
and then they wanted me to make it now, so they could play with it, and
I needed something to put on my brand new "fun page", so...
