Yes, I am Vaarsuvius from **Order of the Stick!** The artist never indicated Vaar was one gender or the other. The closest was a flashback scene with Vaar’s wife and two adopted kids, which still didn’t settle the matter. Grats Prof! ---

Well done, **Prof. P.** It’s been awhile since I’ve read OOTS, but I remember the character. IQs: Were you Harriet Tubman’s landlord for awhile? Did a character based on you cite the work of Bishop Ussher in a play? Did your partner mispronounce the name of a notorious French writer? ---

> [@Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle](#): > > Hey, I’m not saying you’re a drooling, uneducated, colonial barbarian, just because you know more about the NFL than ancient British history. Nope, not saying that at all. 😃 Karma will bite you in the butt, man. **SCAdian** pointed out to me that I was wrong in one of my IQs; the Romano-British king who asked the Angles, Saxons and Jutes to come to Britain to help defend it against the Picts, whom I identified as Vercingetorix, was actually Vortigern. Vercingetorix was the Gaulish commander that Julius Caesar fought in what is now France. Out of all my IQs to get wrong, naturally I screwed up the one I teased **Knowed Out** about not knowing. Some form of Gaudere’s Law, I’d say. ---
