I, apparently, suck.

Just got a batch of links from my mate Charlie. Seems the Burning Times is another one of those myths, like that Pope Joan. Yes, witches [1] were tried and burned and tortured, but it wasn't a wholescale genocide sort of thing. At least, not during the times courts kept records. Of course, that only goes back to the age of the printing press and doesn't cover what happened to the Druids when Britain was invaded by the Romans, but then again, unless I work out how to summon the ghost of Magic Users Past, that's probably just another myth too.

So, you're all right, I'm wrong (again) and I'm going to stop attempting to be clever and go play with Meggan.

Edit: The links, since you lot obviously don't understand the words "I got it wrong":

There.

I got vomited on by a guy I thought was Magneto.

I'll spot you and the bit a coke if you want to commiserate.

I thought you were allergic to munchkins?

Never mind, we'll be right down. Thanks, Remy. Escape good.

Oh, sure, I can teach Short&Fuzzy how to play cards. Someone's got to be able to get revenge on Short&Green for me.
