Perhaps I have spent too long on some Herethroy farmers who aren't even traff. So, I shall answer questions to-day. Perhaps I shall answer them wisely and well, perhaps flippantly and falsely, and, if you are very lucky, you or I will be able to tell which I did.

But beware! If you ask me a question, I may ask one back, which you are morally obliged to answer as well as I answered yours, if not better or worse!

Nobody has told me clearly!

[It originally meant the Star-Serpent, two or three centuries ago. That got lost quickly; only two or three primes ever knew for sure that the inventor of the phrase actually meant that. There are a number of competing definitions in popular imagination, most of them silly, with the original definition being one of more common serious ones. The phrase recently became popular, as the trademark exclamation of a Count of Monte Cristo sort of character in a popular serial. -bb]

[Tunneling out of a wood tower seems far less impressive]

What about tunneling out of an ensorcelled tower? using only one's generative organ?
