I'm weird. I like 'pointed ears'.
He *is* a sort of guru. Always strictly accurate, but totally
impenetrable. I have a mental picture of some deeply Germanic Elrond.
Only someone whose native language or culture is German could possibly
so uselessly exactly right.
Best philosophers in the whole world. But you can't tell em a joke.
You out there Thomas? What spake the Oracle from Delphi?
He's the sort of bloke who replies to ' how do I do X?' with
'In factorial P ways. Which one would you prefer?
Jerry is the other sort of Germanic. "Zere iss only ze vun vay, it iss
ze right vay, and I haf learned it in ze expensive klass so it must be
korrekt"
There's a German word for that. Dummkopf? Something like that.
