Oh, one other thing. You've probably noticed me occasionally adding a "Bones?" at the end of long-ass posts sometimes. It's stupid, consiering I'm not even the right nationality for it, but it's a mini-meme grabbed from Steven Brust.

It comes from his book, The Sun, the Moon, & the Stars, as part of an old storytelling device. Basically, the storyteller asks "Bones?" at the end of a chapter, paragraph, whatever, to make sure the audience is still listening. (The correct audience response, by the way, would be "tiles.")

And that's that. Consider it your odd literary device du jour.
