But I'm not in Shallowville, and I'm not a man - furhtermore, I don't
plan to go there or to become a man.

I don't have a dinner table. Besides, I haven't seen any 5" thick CDs
recently... :-P

Not sure what you're talking about there - would the dictionary tell me?

Who's "Twitch" ?

"Bill"? Bill Gates, you mean? Of course, a CD doesn't do much good
"upside [a] think skull" - if it's a blunt instrument a good stick or
even e.g. a candlestick, in the library would probably work better than
a CD - what do they weigh, 20g?
Of course, there was that one movie with the spinning disc that would
slice through /anything/ and could only be held still with magnets - I
thought that was pretty good example of a way in which a CD could be
used as a deadly weapon...
But to recap: Five tries and the best reason you can come up with that I
should have a dictionary is that I might be able to use it as a weapon?
The pen is mightier than the sword, perhaps, but the quarterstaff is
mightier than the [non-ensorcelled] book.
Care to try again?
