You're to blame in RL Kit, but Fox Cutter is to blame in "Metamor Life" as =
he's the one actually from "our Earth" and is the only one who could bring =
knowledge of Pythagorus and the Pythagorean cultists from "our Earth" to Me=
tamor. Hence the blame on him. :)

Hey, Cutter isn't actually to blame for this one. Sadly enough, this atro=
city (hehe) was my fault. I told someone my cell phone number was (314)159-=
2653 and when Bard heard about it, he was inspired to make this story. Plea=
se forward all hate mail to me instead of Cutter :P

As I recall, when Pythagoras found out about the Irration Number SQR(=

was not impressed. Numbers are not irrational! So, he buried it as a

Secret Society that Roger is a member of, believe in the Sacred Oddne=

Irrationality, and hence consider SQR(2) a holy and secret number. T=

they are dedicated to calculating its absolute value (even though tha=
t is
impossible -- see "The Nine Billion Names of God") and then hiding it=
away,
using Roger's shell as in impenetrable vault to maintain the secret.
Damn you Fox Cutter for bringing Pythagorean madness to Metamor!
