types are pretty smart creaturefolk. For example, Dunkelzahn is estimated
to have an IQ somewhere well above _350_, and it's known that Lofwyr runs
Saeder-Krupp quite nearly by himself, a feat that not even the best knowbot
computer systems can presently perform. Dr. Joshua Taylor (Cincinnati
Medical College) has communicated with me a private paper he wrote. According
to his studies, the 'average' dragon -- if there is such -- thinks at speeds
six to eight times faster than the normal human being. ]<<<<<

of Night of Rage ghosts; the things activate every night, like clockwork,
coming up out of the Ohio River. I know of several magical groups that study
the phenomenon, and Proctor and Gamble do a lot more than your implication
by way of their name would suggest. Dr. Taylor is a respected member of the
medical and teaching staff at CMC. ]<<<<<

is
a 'side effect' or whatever of thought and willpower -- why don't they whip
spells out like, pardon the pun, greased lightning? ]<<<<<

by far than a low-grade CPU, but of both only have output devices that will
work within a certain range -- say, a Green-4 I/O or a Green-6 -- you're still
only gonna be able to get so much speed out of it. Capice'? ]<<<<<

when you do most of your culling in the CAS. And hey, Max Power, we never
got Holly Brighton to interview Ryumyo, but we still got his name, huh?
Guess the media's worth more than you think. ]<<<<<
