fear+loathing?

in case you didn't notice the new link on the sidebar, i just wanted to say that i finally started playing kingdom of loathing, months after finding it, and i love it!
keep in mind that i'm not a gamer- i love tetris (thought i was a master when i got to level 38, then looked @ online scores...) and cards, and the only console (is that the right term?) game i like is ratchet+clank, which i only watch grims play, with no desire to participate except for shouting @ him about what i, with my backseat-player expertise, think he should do. but kingdom of loathing is the best. it reminds me of a text adventure (the only other kind of game i was ever into) but with stick-figure drawings. i'm playing as a disco bandit (although 'seal clubber' was enticing) and to date have fought half-drunk orc-hobos, bats shaped like pine-scented air-fresheners, various haunted pantry items, et al, for prizes such as dried faces, cocktails, meat from yesterday and disembodied smiles, and have only once become so drunk (the only liquid sustenance in the game appears to be alcoholic) that the game kept fucking me up and eventually told me i'd have to sleep it off because i was so falling-down-drunk that i couldn't tell who i was trying to fight from the furniture. my pet mosquito is now 15lbs. and winning some events. this is a game whose currency is "meat", as in "you win 25 meat", and i'm currently trying to gather the parts to build myself a car with meat paste and meat stacks- all of which should tell you that if you haven't played, you should check it out.

apparently, hypatia of alexandria, the only ancient female mathematician we know of, died early in the 5th century when a mob dragged her from her classroom and peeled off her skin with oyster shells.

is traditional invisibility based on camouflage or transparency?

walk good.
