(Ack! My GM is gettting creative! These are from him - slightly edited by me.)

Detect Fire (self): For lodestar's co-workers.

Are you accident-prone? Tired of having what you are working on ruined because of an incidental cut?

Then get our new: Detect Injury (Self) spell.

"The run was hectic, but I had the perfect plan for getting out, all I needed was a well-placed shot I knew I could make. I reached to pull out my gun, only to find my arm had been blown off, and I was bleeding all over the place!"

Has this ever happened to you? Never suffer this tragedy again by using our new:

Detect Injury (Self) spell.

>>>>> Ok I know you're all falling all over your decks laughing at this, but you might want to look at this seriously if you've got a Trama Damper, Damage Compensation, or Pain Editor. If you can't feel the pain, how are you to know you're injured?<<<<<

Shouldn't that be "Detect Virus"?

Is Windows A Virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

* They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
* Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
* Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
* Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
* Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:

* Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.
