Of course there's no proof left. There never will be. Why should there be? Religion is a question of faith. If people want to believe in God, fine. It's not like the scientific method proves anything but "well, this looks like it covers what we've seen happen so far" either.

Is this legal/fair/taxable in the USA?
Why are people complaining about this? It's not like the normal documentation was eaten by a Grue. Like it or not, some people learn better by playing. If this helps people learn at all, it's a good thing. Those of you afraid of the grues can have your documentation and read it anyway.

Well, they could just cover the drawing in asterisks.
Oh, wait.

Blame Canada, then?
You probably didn't have one before, you obviously didn't have one during it, so there's no reason to hope for a life after WoW.
It's kdawson. Obviously, he was too busy approving stories to properly categorize them. I mean, look at the front page.
I think you missed both Mario and Pokemon.
