Anyway, there's a fashion point it did not pick up on, surprisingly. That's not a goatee.

To wit:

• Goatee vs. Van Dyke
• Getting My Goat
• Goatee vs. Van Dyke 4 Definitions

ETA:

yes, the beard got an accidental snip, but I was doing this hastily.

...remember from when Beetle was going on with his mono-log and Klaus had his newer model battle-clanks take out Beetles older style ones?, remember his statements something close to: "they were the best self-contained battle clanks... WHEN they were new!", and that "time has marched on, but they stayed the same"... well, just consider what HIS versions of the Jaegers will be like!... combine Von Pinn's speed and agility, with the Jaegers combat abilities... it would be like the T1000 Terminator vs, the Arnold version...

Extra credit: Did he actually augment Von Pinn himself, or did she come this way? Or did he have to repair her after the attack? Give full proofs.

April is National Donate Life Month in the United States. http://organdonor.gov/get_involved/donatelifemonth.html

Please help us celebrate the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donors and to encourage more people to register as donors.

If you have a Second Life account, drop by and say hello - I'll be in Ostentatious Blue, and please - do not maul the Baron if he is able to make an appearance, he has had recent difficulties with time windows of late.

If you do not have the time to come visit, please take a moment to sign your organ donor card, and let your family know.

Discussion point: During the battle against the warrior wasps on Castle W., the Baron was wearing some fashion of torso armour. The fact that it was coloured identically to his shirt and trousers makes it a little harder to tell. Now, with his... we need better nouns and modifiers, here... with his constructness compensating for the crimp armour can put in one's free movement, what good reason would there be for Klaus to have gone without tassets and greaves, especially considering the warriors' rather large and nasty pinchers?

Something else I've realized... Gil says he doesn't know Agatha very well, but in spite of the short amount of time they spent together, he actually knows her better than anyone. Only Zeetha knows her as well or better. And like Zeetha, his instincts about Agatha are right.

Case in point:
* Gil knew Agatha would respond to being given her own space to work on her own projects. Okay, this is an easy one, but I think he should get credit for thinking about her needs.
* He was with her when she broke through.
* He was with her in a very stressful situation (the hive engine incident). These are the kinds of things that always tell you a persons true character. Not only did they work great as a team, they triumphed together.
* He knew Agatha well enough to know that she wouldn't have betrayed the circus folk. So they gave him version 2 of her death.
* He's not buying the whole "Agatha is evil" thing (even though it's partly true in that she's possessed). He may be biased, but he's not stupid about it.

Please include all the reasoning and equations for your proofs in your notebook before turning it in to the tutor.

Oh yes, feel free to use these icons in anyway you want. I don't care if I get credit, though it would be nice and will make me squee happily.

Klaus wakes up.

Skifander royal person tries to introduce herself, past the language barrier. Wants to know what to call Klaus.

Klaus, realizing he's been duped by Lucrezia and dumped in Skifander, is all red-faced and annoyed with himself. "Chump." The name sticks.

So now Zeetha goes around introducing herself as "daughter of Chump", hoping someone'll know who Chump is. LOL

(Okay, so that's not how it happened, but... hee. I am so easily amused.)

(Eeee! Eeeeeee!)

Heh, heh, heh.

Now maybe they'll get it.

(Poor Gil. He Understands A Parent. Isn't that a sure sign of growing up?)

Actually, there are a lot of entries to be finished and some others which need attention...

A side note: He was brought home from exile by "Athena", who was actually a tall woman named Phya, disguised as Athena in a suit of armor.

Said by Kurotsuchi Mayuri-taicho in Bleach chapter 306, 'Not Perfect is GOoD', and translated by the Ju-Ni fanlation group (my punctuation and emphases due to the style of the translation):

'The Perfect Life', hm? There is no perfection in this world. It's a cliché expression, but it's the truth. Thus, ordinary people yearn for 'perfection' and seek it out, but what meaning is there in 'perfection'?

None.

Absolutely none at all.

I abhor 'perfection'. If something is 'perfect', then there is nothing better than it. There is no room for 'creation' within it. It means there is no opening for talent or wisdom to enter into it.

Do you understand? For we scientists, perfection is despair. Something can be more wonderful than anything that has existed thus far, but... it can never be perfect.

A scientist is an organism that must continually suffer under this contradiction and even find pleasure in it. In other words, you had already lost to me the instant you uttered that crazy word, 'perfection'.

This is, of course, assuming that you were a scientist.

Just for the sake of comparison, this is from another group, Maximum 7: 'Perfect existence'? Perfection does not exist in this world. It may seem like a cliche, but it's true. Obviously mediocre fools will forever lust for 'perfection' and seek it out. However, what meaning is there in 'perfection'? None. Not a bit. 'Perfection' disgusts me. After 'perfection' there exists nothing higher. Not even room for 'creation'. Which means there is no room for wisdom or talent either. Understand? To scientists like ourselves, 'perfection' is 'despair'. Even if something is created that is more magnificent than anything before it, it still, however, will be far from perfect. Scientists are constantly struggling with that antinomy and furthermore must become being capable of drawing pleasure from such. In short, the instant that absurd word 'perfection' came from your lips, you had already been defeated by me. You claimed you 'were also a scientist'.

You know, I can't help but feel that the truly important questions re:
the paper dolls are not being asked. ie: Will we get a Klaus doll? And
if we do, will one of the outfits include black leather and a Harley?

What on earth was Klaus' hair color before it went grey!? All I can tell is, unless he went grey early (or was built that way), he had fairly light hair to begin with, maybe even blonde (hope not... a blonde Klaus, eek), but most likely something close to Gil's hair.

*smirk*

Y'know, this is, after all, Girl Genius, but the slow unfolding of Klaus's history and Gil's growth are effectively essential to telling her story correctly. It's nearly as much about the Wulfenbachs as the Heterodynes, in order to provide context.
