Super Teclis

[mule]

For those that read White Dwarf, I know that Teclis is like the best Wizard in the world and all, but do they really expect us to believe that he wiped out an entire Daemon host in one go? Not to mention that Belakor dude...
Who needs a army???

 

[Duskrunner]

He didn\'t wipe them out. He sent the deamons back to the Realm of Chaos. Those demons are still alive and kicking....just in the warp.

OK, I stand corrected...

... world and all, but do they really expect us to believe that he sent an entire Daemon host into the warp in one go? Not to mention that Belakor dude...

...not as incredible as their next set of price increases. Or the fat juicy bonus the Chief-Exec just gave himself

Incredible maybe, but totally unsurprising.:duh:

Why is that so difficult to believe, after all Santa Claus delivers presents to all the children in the world in one night. lol

Isn\'t there something creepy about that image:
A fat old bearded guy creeping round kids bedrooms at night, leaving something in their stockings, if they\'ve been \"Good\".

Or am I just on another planet today?

Yeah, and during the days the weeks before christmas, he visits shopping malls and department stores where kids can line up to sit on his lap. :]

Read Neil Gaiman\'s short story \'Nicholas Was...\' for a better understanding of the tragic figure that is Santa Claus.

I heard that Teclis had Halitosis so bad, that you could consider it a breath weapon. And DR, the idea of some fat guy running around the house on Chrispymas eve and leaving presents for the children is not too far from reality. Now if Santa were to visit Neverland in Southern California, I would worry for him.

It is in a collection of short stories called \"Smoke and Mirrors\". There\'s a lot of great short stories in there. Neil Gaiman is a great writer.

And speaking of Terry Pratchett, Neil and Terry have written an awesome book together called \"Good Omens\". It\'s about Antichrist and the apocalypse. It\'s really funny!

 

[Hoblit]

Good omens. One of my favourite books of all time, along with the other 30 discworld novels.

The whole thing on Santa, (which I started, My first thread hijack. I feel like a real member of the forum now) reminded me of this proof.

Santa and Engineering
