I always knew elves were wicked. Those soul-less, knife-eared monsters.

Question 8.
"I don't really want to answer this question now,"
Whew! Thank god. That could have gotten very cree-
"but since your letter is not the only one asking this question, I will say this much..."
AAAAAAAHHHHH  :o

Any system that addresses things like this becomes hopelessly convoluted. It also becomes a system with abilities like "Discriminatory Taste" and rules on sexual encounters.

Take the lesser of two evils, I say.

Honestly, I found it more amusing that someone spent the time to pick out all these things.  Since at most you might stumble upon 1 or 2 of these in any given game (and common sense dictates what should actually happen)...

I've used the 'sell a wall of iron' trick many times in my games.

When they mentioned the "Wish for a club singularity," I was surprised they didn't mention the "Peasant Railgun" or the "Locate City Bomb"
