[QUOTE=bundykala] There are links to “definitions” of each of the humours along the right hand side of the linked page. But to answer your question, it doesn’t really _mean_ anything. It thinks it does, but it doesn’t. [Here’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_humours) what Wikipedia has to say if you’re really interested. [/QUOTE] Ah, yes, I see those now. Typical of a choleric to come in here demanding answers. 😃 ---
