Should I join the Unitarian Jihad, as have some other monks?
I'm not yet decided, but if I would, my combat-name would be Brother Cutlass of Sweet Reason

I'm also pondering starting a second career as a pirate. If you overhear people fearfully whispering the name Black William Flint you know that I have realized that plan!

Final words
So I reached 1000 points in the XP-game today (Feb 22th, 2010) - if I continue in this pace, I'll reach BrowserUK in 50.86 years ... quite a challenge, even if he does not earn a single point in that time. However lets not give up too early, but check again in the year 2061 ;-)
