    Cruel irony: rain is in our forecast for tomorrow. Also on schedule for tomorrow is a crew that is supposed to install new gutters on our house. Who will win?

    I'd guess Mother Nature.

    In an old computer game I've been playing lately, there's this dragon who says that there's only one creature in the world that can threaten it, and wants me to go kill that creature.

    If the creature can threaten the dragon, and I can kill the creature, am I not theoretically able to threaten the dragon?

    (In the game, in fact, I am not - there are creatures I am incapable of attacking, period, and there are other creatures that will attack me. This particular dragon is in the former category. So far I've found only one creature in both categories, and none that are in neither.)

    It's comparable to Rock-Paper-Scissors.

    (um... what? you mean like he writes in code or something? i have no idea what you're going for there...)

    Doesn't really matter, actually. The point is that random things happen.

    On two occasions I have been asked by Members of Parliament 'Pray Mr. Babbage, if you put the wrong numbers in to the machine will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

    I predict a One-Pannel page that's mostly text and only slightly on topic, with him standing infront of a half dozen charts and diagrams, atleast one of which is a satelite-view shot of her house.

    I'd say the last bit is creepy but I know google maps are a thing. I searched my house on it once.

    Wait, where does this hatch...

    what...

    Who built a secret underground base entrance in the lost and found?

    Presumably demonhunter needed some sort of safe house when he rescues people taken by the Lost and Found.

    One way I could see that idea being interesting would be if Susan's "father" and "mother" weren't actually in a relationship at all, she caught him with his actual partner, and they decided it would be easier to let her believe what we've believed.

    ...beyond that... ehhh.

    Sounds too complicated a plot thread if you ask me.
