It's quiet. Too quiet.
So I'll be the first to bring this up: Steve Irwin, gone to the wildlife
preserve in the sky.
There are two ways to look at it. The first is that he's been pushing his
luck for far too long and it finally caught up with him. The second -- which
is my view -- is that he cheated death so long that luck didn't even come
into it. The fact that he didn't die long before he did means he had an
inside track with the animals or with risk, so to speak. So he could not
have died by accident. Somebody MADE that stingray whack him.
My pet theory is that he was bucking for the Godwalker position of Scholar,
with eventual plans to replace the current one and become the Hands-On
Expert. Instead of being the laid-back, distant academic, you got up close
and personal with your field of study. So to protect itself, the Clergy's
scholar manipulated the odds, the stingray stinger hit Steve, and that was
that. Or maybe the current Godwalker just called in an Entropomancer to rig
it. Either one would work.
Thoughts?
And while we're at it, has anybody else had trouble getting onto the Unknown
Armies website lately? I dunno whether the college computers just don't like
it or if the site itself is down.
