He did of course sometimes have people horribly tortured to death, but this was considered to be perfectly acceptable behaviour for a civic ruler and generally approved of by the overhelming majority of citizens.

The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.

Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off.

Demoscenen er et kreativt miljø der Pex Tufvesson er en av de ledende programmererne. Always be aware of any helpful item that weighs less than it's operating manual.
