"Deus ex machina" means "A god from a machine, and it was a
dramatic device used in ancient Greek drama to solve all the problems
when man had screwed it up so badly it took a god to fix it.  A good
example is the last scene in "Agamamnon" or "Medea".

	As to the present controversy, IT'S A GAME, PEOPLE!  It works
(woks?) sort of like a smorgasbord.  If you can use an aspect (an
aspic?:-)) of the game, use it.  If it is problematic, use what _will_
work.  It doesn't take an official rule change to do that.  (Hmm.  I must
be getting hungry.  Is that pizza I smell?)

	On the lighter side, we could do an adventure featuring all the
fantastic creatures.  Maybe we could call it, "Pegasu Got Marred."  :-) 
(Yukka, yukka.  Yes, I know its a plant but they spell it differently.)

	Mormons, eh?  I was thinking JW's myself.

	Lady angels, eh?  I thought they transcended sexuality, as
opposed to being sexless like worker bees.  I guess there could be lady
angels.  All those Rennaisance cherubs had to come from somewhere. :-)

	Personally, I don't care what we call the stupid dragon.  We
still have to deal with him.  Just as a ricocheted tangent here, it
strikes me that too many Christians spend too much time trying to define
Satan and his minions and too little time working to defeat him.  But I
don't mean that in a bad way. :-)  

	Take care guys.  If I use too many more "eh"'s, I'll have to move
to Canada.

In hope of good health and good cheer to all,
Dariel the Aged
