Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
I've hooked up all of my colleagues yesterday. *EG* We were all playing it instead of working.

Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
*laughs* welcome to the Xenodochium, perpetrator of the downfall of Western Civilisation! Or at least the game-playing sections of it.
(btw, Sahi, that's the 600th post to the X. Hurrah!)

Strawberry Pop-Tart Blow-Torches
The new Xenodochium will be up soon, but in the meanwhile here's a webpage that was last updated eight years ago. Creating a miniature flame-thrower out of a simple toaster and breakfast treat, with illustrations.
Probably from the same kind of people that put CDs in the microwave or drop pianos onto old (but still functioning) PCs. Yes, I know people like this in Real Life.
It's also fun to see how different the web was back in the early Nineties. Example: "The response to my Strawberry Pop Tart article has been overwhelming. In October 1994 alone it's been accessed more than 2000 times." Wow! 2000 times you say? In one month? I'm very impressed. *suppresses giggles*
She may not remember, but Sam actually gave me this link more than a year ago at the old TWMB. Thanks Sam!

Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
Holy Cow!! Who'd a figured an innocent looking little pop-tart could be so dangerous. Geez! Now I know why I'm not particularly wild about them.

Hey, Paragon. There goes my beloved toaster. How can I sue you to get my money back...

Perhaps I'm just dense (heh, I should preface all my posts that way) but who is the konquerer?

I may be wrong but he may be a web browser. One of them linuxy things. I think it's what my husband uses.

The 15 Hottest Sauces in the World
All the recent fieriness around Shadowmarch has reminded me of this site, purporting to contain the 15 hottest sauces known to humankind. Some of them have the coolest names: "Crazy Jerry's Mustard Gas" (which will apparently cause nose hairs to combust if inhaled), and "Blair's Sudden Death" (which contains red habanero pods, cayenne chilies, pure pepper resin, and Siberian Ginseng. Ouch!); some names are less than endearing. A very interesting site nonetheless.

Ooo, even the names make me hyperventillate.

Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
Oddly quiet hereabouts today....
A for-your-information post: A new Xenodochium will be up at midnight tonight (board time), with one or two surprises to go with it.

Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
Oh, that's right, it's Valentine's Day today/morrow isn't it? That's okay, I'll work that into the re-opening somehow.

Re: The Xenodochium (Paragon)
It looks like quite a few of the old closed Neighbourhood topics are still around on page 2 anyway; I doubt that there are so many Neighbourhood topics as to take up a whole heap of server space (I'm wondering whether Tad anticipated a few hundred of them, which is why he suggested that old ones be deleted). In any case, preparations are being made...
