Sorry 'bout that, etv78! I’d obviously come to the same conclusion you did: criminality (though I considered a businessman). Thanks, KO. I’m gonna check EH’s list of frequently used letters, and post someone later today. ---

Way to go, yet again, **Prof. P.**! > [@etv78](#): > > Henry Clay… I already used Clay in post 152. Previous IQs: Were you a Tory snob and schemer in Jeffrey Archer’s political thriller _First Among Equals_? - Charles Seymour Were you Lord Nelson’s #2 guy at Trafalgar? - Adm. Sir Cuthbert Collingwood Were you tried but acquitted for your alleged role in JFK’s assassination? - Clay Shaw > [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > (btw, I remember having a nightmare about the scene you were in. I was in the crowd and Loki told us he could kill everyone on the planet in twenty minutes. Everybody ran for their lives, and I found myself trapped in a tower with an upwardly spiraling staircase. I climbed it until I saw Loki standing across from me on another landing. He smirked and vanished. He took time out from slaughtering millions just to fuck with me. Take that as a testimony to the power of Tom Hiddleston’s acting. I _hope_ it doesn’t mean something else.) Hell, I wouldn’t put _anything_ past ol’ Loki! ---
