So I'm sure I already knew this somewhere, but renewed costume research has made it clear…

Nearly Headless Nick can't have died in 1492. He wears a ruff. It must have been 1592, right in the late-middle Elizabethan period. 1492 is early Tudor. here's a link: the first half of the page would be the relevant part. They didn't wear ruffs. Unfortunately, this voids my brilliant theory on Nearly Headless Nick and Perkin Warbeck. Ah, well.

In other interesting information, the first pressure cooker with a safety valve was invented in 1680 by Denis Papin. Isn't that interesting?

Obviously, this is referring to the 1820s, or maybe the 16- or 1720s. Heck. The 1420s, the 1220s, the 420s. Just about any '20s but the 19- ones.

<td align="center">You are 33% evil



You are not so evil. You are overall a nice person, although I wouldn’t want to get on your bad side. You have an extravagant imagination.

Nice picture, no? I suppose that means I'm evil in a generic All Mankind is Sinful and Evil and Deserves Eternal Death kind of way.

<td align="center">You were a band geek in high school



You were into staying late after school with your other band mates. You were into music and hooking up at random with your friends.

Oh, no, not at all. I was an 'orch dork.' Much less cool. Because, let's face it: no teen movie ever had a famous line along the lines of "so this one time at Quartet Camp…"

<td align="center">You hate smug people!



Smugness is your biggest pet peeve. What with all their thinking they’re so good. They are so self-absorbed, they won’t acknowledge anyone but themselves. Arg.

That would be because I am a smug person.

Human Paladin

f-human.jpgpaladin.jpg


Humans tend to be the ones in the middle. Not as sexy as the Night Elves; not as stumpy as the dwarves or gnomes. As a human, you pretty much go with the flow of things.

As a paladin, you like to see that everyone is safe - including yourself. Still an important part of any group, if you get overshadowed, you can always refuse to give them your blessing.

Well, as I haven't actually seen said movie…

I really don't know what I'm talking about.

I haven't either, to be honest. I only know that part because someone finally made a non-subtle reference to it, so that the listener didn't have to have actually seen the movie to understand.
