Has someone mentioned that 'Salmon Leap' is one of the original, extra-Gloranthan heroic feats, being a feat of Cu Chulainn in the Tain? Breeding, boy, Breeding - that feat's got some damned fine breeding.

And on a similar matter (with apologies for repeating this from ANOTHER list) who's noticed the Rune for Makabaeus, the first Lunar sorcerer (HW 81)? A Big M and two golden arches! Given that his Tome contains the 'Curse of Rotted Food', is he called Big Mak by the Lunars Who Know (tm)? Is this one of yours Roderick, or just an example of those 'wacky californiaisms' people use to warn me about? :) The possibilities for sub-cults are intriguing...

Cheers

The heroes filled their drinking cups with wine Sainted with water, which is best, and sipped; And what in them was noble, grew;
And truthfulness, with many meanings, spread Over the slopes and through the leafy spears As Priam thrust the knife into the white lamb's throat. - Christopher Logue, The War Machine.
