Because I did not spell Slug Signorino’s name correctly (gawsp!), In atonement I present this informative article I found while Googling the correct way.

Is the thread called “The horror of the Playboy-reading dwarf at the controls”? No. I rest my case.

I’d like to mention that I went back to the original thread and the dwarf at the controls of Scylla’s mind was, in fact, reading _Penthouse_. To the extent that this matters. Not a lot, probably.

Yeah but the dwarf was part of **Scylla** ’s mind, and the article was written by… **Scylla** , there’s an obvious bias in the title.

_Penthouse_, _Playboy_ same difference, I only read them for the articles anyway…
