Cool. Isn't he the one who left after everyone celebrated the deaths of a bunch of drowned Egyptians?

Everyone?  It was like two people.  I thought that was a bit unfair.

I remember it being at least 3 or 4.  It was kind of creepy.

I would demand we go to the thread to confirm but I think it died with the last version of the board.  I do remember it was all Viking's fault though.

A focus on alchemy?

Heh, Tuna was his real name.

I thought we knew that - or at least that tuna wasn't in fact a sea food afficianado.

It was more callous jokes by a couple of the usual subjects than celebrating IIRC.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The queen would be most disappointed. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah the joke was how the Egyptians were going to blame Israel for it.

I may have been young and innocent at the time, but I recall thinking that he was being oversensitive given what Languish (and its close sister KAPland) was. Though also, if it wasn't the sort of tomfoolery he wanted to put up with, he was wise to leave.

If they didn't want me to celebrate their deaths, they shouldn't have been born in the Third World.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My recollection was some folks were making fun of the fact that 600 people had crammed onto a ferry built for 200.
