@ "Wilst thou settle for a minor consultation?"

@ "Ehm, no, not really..."

@ "Then dost thou desire a major one?"

@ "On second thought... no thanks I want to save that gold for protection."

The Oracle looks puzzled.

@ "Oh, I got it. Dost thou desire the Super Mega Hyper Ultra Ultimate Arch-Consultation?"

@ "What IS that? Well, now I am curious. How much?"

@ "That shalt be 10000 zorkmids."

@ "Holy... But that's all I've got... for protection... for that spellbook shop! Well, OK, now I'm very curious. Here's your money. Now tell."

Your movements are now unencumbered.

The Oracle takes a deep breath, starts to levitate, concentrates so much that you can swear you see smoke come from his head, and, after a minute of deep meditation says:

Nice, now Dudley just needs to find a spellbook of WiFi...

Isn't the Oracle female?

#3 NobodySpecial Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:36:11
Yes, since the original Oracle of Delphi was, too. On the other hand, the Internet Oracle is almost always portrayed as male.

Hee. I didn't even know that page existed.

I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

Totally wasn't expecting that.

Due to the layout of the page, I saw the punchline early :(
