Post #291,939 by tjsinclair 8/30/07 1:10:06 AM Reply	So did Terry Pratchett From [link\|http://www.ealasaid.com/quotes/pratchett.html\|here]: 'The problem with mercenaries,' said the Patrician, 'is that they need to be paid to start fighting. And, unless you are very lucky, you end up paying them even more to stop.' -------Terry Pratchett, Jingo Tom Sinclair '...history changes all the time. It is constantly being re-examined and re-evaluated, otherwise how would we be able to keep historians occupied? We can't possibly allow people with their sort of minds to walk around with time on their hands.' -------Lord Vetinari (Terry Pratchett, Jingo)

(I saved more, though..) Jingo - the perfectly attuned Ref for the Cabal's next tack, complete with the mind of a 10 yo; no need to read newspaper. (Surely the highest-evolved creature be The Librarian!) cf. Sourcery
