I just got this interestingly poetic spam:

burglar from, necromancer inside traffic light, and for cheese wheel are what made America great!

How do you get a necromancer inside a traffic light? (Also, what is a necromancer?)

 

[Arakhor]

Originally, a necromancer was one who practised divination by contacting spirits of the dead (necros + manteia). In fantasy circles, it's one who uses the magic of life and death, often raising dead bodies to serve them.

Currently in my town they're talking about moving the local library to a building that used to be a "Normal College." (I'm not sure what that means.) Anyways, the local paper showed a picture of two ladies standing in front of the current library and, in large letters, "NOT NORMAL." The article was about how the old building wouldn't be suitable. But it was funny and I wonder how intentional it was.

 

[Takhisis]

A little I'd say .
