The whole Canberra thing was merely an attempt to explain one of 
less-unusual character quirks.  But take note; you'll be tested on it

Erm... because I'm an insane irascimancer who gains charges from pointless 
"my game is better than yours" arguments on the UA list?  #%o)

More seriously, I do it because I _know_ that it's false, and I _assume_ 
that everyone who might read it knows this, too; I'm not out to convert 
anyone here, I'm just trying to make a joke. Ha-ha.
