Something rabbit-shaped ... a werehare! a lapin-garou! ... methinks. - Monkeygod "[I] lived through a time when [...] you could have a part-time job, a cheap apartment and have plenty of time for social activism, then boom! Ronald Reagan, rise of the fundamentalist right, and all of a sudden everybody's working just to pay the rent like mice on treadmills. And that's what young people are today -- they're mice on treadmills and they don't even know it. Or if they do know it, they don't know that once it was different." - Susan Brownmiller, Salon Magazine, Dec. 1999 *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.imagiconline.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

BTW, Chaosium's No Man's Land, a Call of Cthulhu adventure set in World War One, had excellent prop suggestions, complete with anecdotes from the con scenario it was based on... >That's so sick and twisted! I do love it. My players thought so too. At the end of the campaign I gave away Human The Dolphin as one of the "awards" handed out to my players.

I assume the UN is United Nations, but what exactly does SS stand for? If the GEO were to commission a new submersible vessel on Poseidon, what would it's designation be? For example, if the vessel is named the Stinky, would it be the UNS Stinky, or the GEOS Stinky, or what?
