Sun's Copy Editors Dream Come True
Feb. 8th, 2008 11:22 amOh, man. The Sun today got to splash across its front page the headline WELFARE HAREMS.
I'll bet they needed to send some cigarettes to editorial after they saw that. MOSLIMS CHEATING WELFARE! It's like the second coming for a Sun reader. Plus it's got that lovely "Look what that gay marriage got us into!" subtext that they love so much.
That, along with the grumpy looking family who won the 6/49, plus DOCTOR HORROR's arrest in Nepal, got peoples off to their start this morning. Buried in para 5 is the line that "legally a welfare applicant can only claim one spouse".

I've had Nyambe for almost six years now. It's an awesome book, and I think it would be a great setting for a D&D game (and would work very well with an Arabian themed game, as connections are built into the world).
Anyway, I just realized something very funny. The setting has no 'deities', as such, but clerics and druids commune with spirits of various types, called orisha.
One of the spirits is:
Would you like rice with that, indeed!

GuDuGu (goo-DOO-goo) is the fiendish orisha of nightmares and insanity. His followers drug themselves to experience terrifying hallucinations, sometimes committing horrible atrocities wile so affected.
