The link: http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/Thanks, Rainmaker. To make a link active, use square brackets around "url" at beginning and "/url" at end. Thus: http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftdIf we newcomers continue to share this sort of esoterica with one another, before long we'll be able to compete in these games on the same footing as the old-timers.

It's not nice to fool mother/father nature (aka. rainmaker).

Voussoir
A voussoir is shape shifter whose attacks are experienced most often in large cities. It searches the surface of tall buildings for loose stucco, terra-cotta or other tile pieces and times their fall onto unsuspecting passer-by's. When it can't find any loose building materials it will often take the form of a pigeon and hone its skills at poop-bombing.

Of likely interest to the real newcomers
Dear ASp:
I consider myself a 'newcomer' because when I am not being shunned by Carp, I am being insulted by Carp.
I am not complaining, mind you. On the contrary, I bear this distinction with pride, as a badge of honor.
But there are practical consequences. For instance, I must look to newcomers for polite assistance or find the information for myself.
However, I do appreciate learning that Maverick thought enough about newcomers to post a link which would enable newcomers to join the game.
Too often the Carp have a Carpal-centric view of the universe.
In my opinion, which is obviously heretical in this company, it would be far healthier, and far more representative of the real world, to have a 5:1 ratio of newcomers to Carp, than the present flat-earth ratio of 5:1 in favor of Carp.
