1)I did not write the code. I... erm.. borrowed it and bent it to my
desire. Sometimes bending things causes them to break. :P

2)It's a simple javascript, I know enough about JS to be able to
understand and modify moderately complex scripts. I could probably make
it respond to an "other" entry, but don't have the time or will to do so
at this time.

3)I also don't have the will to type in a hundred plus racial
references. Tonight I will change it to call up the humans and standard
meta's more often, but I won't guaruntee an accurate sampling compared
to the demographics.

4)I'm up for suggestions to include in future versions. Either as whole
new descriptive objects or individual phrases.

If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry
you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and
kill her.
