Hi all,
Thanks, all, for the good wishes. I've been spending much of the weekend in
bed or in bath, and I'm feeling much better now. Some movements and
positions still hurt, but I can do most of my usual business.
Round 1641 has been a good round, with almost everyone getting some votes.
The winner is Scott Crom, who's changeling earned a natural 5.
There were 3 players in coveted second place with 4 points each: Russ
Heimerson, Dave Cunningham and Paul Keating.
The true definition was 3: "people who believe themselves to be, at least in
part, something other than human." (Double-Tongued Word Wrester), which
three of you guessed.
Take it away, Scott!
Best, Hugo
