He generally appeared in human form.. and I don't know if the UCAS would
elect a president who didn't wear socks. :-)

I have always wondered if the Communicate with Animals spell that Celt had
designed for her own use back in 2052 would qualify for the will bit on
page 30. (It worked with Dolphins.) ;)
Pity that game ended just before PoaD came out...

"And now, a Channel 6 editorial reply to whoever first posted this."
] 1) Why would a Dragon have socks?

The question, of course, is not "Why would a dragon have socks," but,
"How much would said socks fetch at an auction?" I'd think, given our
culture's present obsession with A) stars, B) dead people, and C) dead
stars, that they would fetch a pretty penny.
