      at that part, I grabbed a book and hit my forehead with it when they did it. it doesn't hurt because i had an accident where i was pretty much pistol whipped by my little brother as a child (didn't know he'd hit me {didn't feel the impact} until i felt a ticking sensation, put my hand to the affected area, then saw blood on my hand), so i think there might be some damage to the sensory nerves at that part of my face. the pistol was a toy made of wood. i remember that after my mom had cleaned up the blood and patched me up, i hid that toy so something similar to that accident wouldn't happen again.

Quiet! yeah, this one is even debated if it came from u guys, proto-indo-european root "kwyeh" I doubt, sounds like a neanderthal screeching. Anyways the intesive quietness is commonly death... chills...

    I was doing a genealogical history of a family of British gentry, and got down to the final living representative, a widow in 17th Century England. She was accused of witchcraft, and a man testified against her that he had often seen her turn herself into a cat. And like the guy in this comedy skit who said the witch turned him into a newt but he recovered, this witness also testified that she turned him into an animal and he recovered. Not joking. She was convicted and burned. How can you argue with such powerful testimony?

From the Black Knight, the Knights who Say Ni!, Naughty Zoot and the grail shaped beacon - oh, the peril! Let me face just a bit of it! The Wizard Tim and the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog - thank God for the Holy Hand Grenade. The Illustrator dying and killing the Black Beast of Argh! thus saving Arthur and his men to face the Bridge of Death and the old man from scene 24 who will ask them each five questions in order to pass. All while riding pretend horses and banging two empty halves of a coconut together. Genius!
