[bibliophage]

@brownie55

Thinking hard about the Labor of Hercules, I am sorry for any confusion. I believe I have an explanation:

When I was young there were indeed Seven Labors that we were taught. Inflation during the intervening years has caused that number to creep up until it is now seven.

Thanks for playing.

Well, obviously Seven = Twelve in 2008 Labors.

Should we expect a Herculean bailout in 2009?

[WormTheRed]

Thanks Rebo, both for the Feud and for allowing my all-too-mighty misspelling to count

And thank you brownie55! Cool subject!

And finally, a crap… I managed to just scrape out of the basement, but I don’t think I can use the pietapult at this angle. So anyone want any pie?

[Baker]

Woo-hoo, fourth place! I’ve been down in the ratings lately, this makes me feel better. If only I’d gone for the Minotaur in place of Grendel.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

That was a LOT of fun - thanks!
