You assume I know the rules.  You keep changing them, how can poor little me
keepup?  "extra-acka" entity then.  And your mother smells of elderberry!

And it is now fixed.   My co-author rewrote the mime-handling routines and
goofed :)

Today is Wednesday, the 30th day of June, and the Machine That Goes *ping*
Has Gone *ping* today. Since I have been scholar, the Machine has gone
*ping* 18 times.

Pulling my nose from the history stacks,
I decide to explore walk around for a bit.
My natural curiosity leads me farther than I could have expected,
and I find a smallish room with a single book on a sturdy table.
As I approach the book, I realize what this must be,
for though its precise position had never been mentioned,
yet had I read about . . . *that* room.

The Ackanomicon placed a few more pieces 
into my mental jigsaw puzzle of the Universe,
including a few persuasion techniques 
guaranteed to work on any mortal man.

With its help, I was able to weasel 
fifty Ackadollars out of the Treasury;
this I then traded for the Jocopo Treasure, described as:

"It was hidden for many years by the Mud People 
in a cave with a pile of gold,
for which it was occasionally mistaken.  
When its true nature was discovered,
one thing was all too clear."

I then vowed never to use my new understanding 
except for the harf of Ackanomic,
mostly because it had seeped beneath my concious mind 
on the walk home from the Library.

We have a new observer.  The non-entity known as Michael Slone
<[email-masked]>  has asked to become one, so I did the
registrarial magic.
