Thanks a lot for the lovely birthday poem. Very creative. But pray tell me why do you make so many MIDs? I may have to get the mod whip out on you.

Oh Lord Hades !
Thou captive of vexation has consigned to oblivion his countersign. The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. Give thy thoughts no tongue.
