Just a strange observation. Sometimes, a love of interactive fiction makes new friends out of strangers. I was working with a programmer that I didn't know today and he said, "Well, I tried searching for xyzzy, just to see what would come back, and I got all sorts of interesting results." I said, in delight, "Oh, twisty little passages," and we were off and running. It was a fun icebraker.

There are answers to puzzles that I would never have thought of, either, and then, when someone tells me the answer, I see the logic. But, yeah, some of them are really weird. -- On Thanksgiving day, be like a turkey.
