Hey, what is this thing so many Europeans have for anise? It's the flavor of a whole lot of traditional liquors and sweets. I just don't see the attraction. It's not a horrible flavor, just not something I'd want to celebrate so much, you know?

My guess is that anise was one of the first non-horrible flavors that could be concentrated into strong-flavored food and drink. That doesn't make it the best.

And while I'm ranting about the European palate, why do so many Europeans think that hazelnut is a peer to chocolate? Again, it's fine stuff; but it's hardly chocolate. And these people do know chocolate, for Pete's sake.

If I had to restrict myself to all European or all American food and drink for the rest of my life, I'd go European in a heartbeat and never look back. It is the generally far superior level of quality in European comestibles that makes these few little quirks so puzzling to me.

I have never played Zelda, as back in the day I had a playstation and not a N64, but I know that Zelda is a princess or something. Or maybe thats Link...

When you say taking care of it, do you mean taking care of the spammers, or taking care of the start of a Spiderwebocracy? If it's the first, than let me assure you, I'm glad the spammers are gone, but with a much more logical explanation available, the credibility of them launching the Spiderwebocracy is about zero. However, if you're going to use logic, than the possibility of the Spiderwebocracy is already about zero. So , I'll just forget about logic and say, the spiderweb world order is at hand! Grab your lead pipes and head for the nearest government building!

I grew up with SimCity, SimTower, SimAnt, Warcraft and Myst, and really liked them.

Blah, Myst. Hated that game ... Actually I only played Myst 3 because someone gave it to me (I still have it somewhere) but I hated it so much. It was really quite lame.

A while ago it was discovered that Arancaytar is both an elf and the head of a well known evil software company.

Also, Khoth and Drakefyre share a last name. Interpret that how you want to.
