There's definitely a joke in there about what men use to
think with.

I agree completely.  I was also annoyed at the low level of
points.  I increased my points so that the cop character
can actually have a decent skill in
drive/struggle/firearms/notice and still have a hobby
outside of work.

Not a bad idea.  The person who rolls higher while being
under his/her skill wins?  I'd choose that over "beat the
number by the most" to maintain the "higher is better"
mentality.

That's beautiful, man.

Interesting.  So, the formula spells in the book would be a
GM guide?  I probably wouldn't do something like this in my
campaign, but I like the idea.
