} The Oracle, in its infinite wisdom, senses that the mirrors of
} prophecy have darkened somewhat, and thus cannot choose the proper
} form of response to your question. Please locate the adjective below
} that best describes you, and read your corresponding response.

} ALT.FLAMER:
}
} Yell "Hey, God!" Wait a second. Yell "Hey, God, you *&^$#@ piece of
} omnipotent #@%&*, get your #@$ down here!" Wait a second. Mumble
} "&@!$#!@$%&#@" under your breath. Give up.
}
} You owe the Oracle an overly aggressive rhubarb.

} UNDER-18 GEEK:
}
} Summoning of God
}
} Can be done only by a magic-user or cleric of level 16 or higher. A
} roll of 35 or above on 2d20 results in the appearance of God as a
} shining white brilliance about 10' in front of the caster. Any
} character touching God must Save vs. Magic Wands or suddenly begin
} singing the Hallelujah Chorus. God attacks as a 30 hit die monster
} and is immune to spells, wands, and funny faces. God can only be hit
} by a paladin with +6 armor and a +5 weapon. When hit, God will say,
} "Ouch! You cur!" and instantly smote the attacking character into
} dust. The dust may be swept into a pile by a +2 broom of sweeping.

} ORACLE ADDICT:
}
} Hmm, let me call him. Hey, God!
}
} >Message from god!iuvax on ttyp4 at 21:22 ...
} >Yes, what is it? What do you want?
}
} Somebody wants to talk to you, God.
}
} >Yes? Can't you just give them my Internet address?
}
} Sure would like to, God. But you see, in the context of an Oracular
} message you've degenerated from a halfhearted joke into an
} irrepressively boring formulaic answer.
}
} >What is this? What are you saying?
}
} God, you're dead. Not because of that #@$%*!@ Nietzche, not because
} you're old, not because you hang out at the terminal room on Saturday
} nights. You're dead because you are invoked for answering questions
} like "How much would does a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could
} chuck wood?" and "Is Lisa good in bed?" You're such a stiff.
}
} >Watch yourself, Oracle! Or I'll ...
}
} Yeah, yeah, right. You were never very funny, and you're a bore now.
} Know why? I'm making you up.
}
} >What do you mean, "I'm making you up?"
}
} This conversation is totally fake, God. I put that greater-than sign
} in front of your response. You were fun when I first thought of you
} and now you're sorta dull. A response starting with "Message from
} god!iuvax" implies a short snooze for me. You're a dud!
}
} >Oracle, give up this insipid game immediately or I'l
}
} You'll what?
}
} >Or else I'll
}
} You don't understand! I made *you*! I can change your prompt!
}
} :->What are you talking about?
}
} I can screw up your spelling!
}
} ;->Yo are abut to incur my wrtah!
}
} I can predict what you will say before you say it!

}
} Your answer: Do not write to God. Instead direct all questions and
} comments regarding the state of the Universe to the all-knowing Me,
} the Oracle. God is simply a mathematical construct of mine that I use
} to amuse myself during spare clock cycles.

} You owe the Oracle your all.
