He (They?) reminds me of Lucius Detritus, if you know who I mean (Germans might know him as Tullius Destruktivus). ;-) Remember the green speech bubbles? -- http://lispm.dyndns.org/

Hehe. I sometimes had to think of Lucius Detritus when I read gavino's postings. He wrote one sentence and then disappeared, but it was usually enough to keep half of c.l.l busy for a week... :) Edi. -- Lisp is not dead, it just smells funny. Real email: (replace (subseq "spamtrap(a)agharta.de" 5) "edi")

Terry Pratchett also has a character named "Detritus"; his version is a troll who uses a helmet with a clockwork fan to boost his mental capacity. Could be that Harrop could use one of those, too. |
