want something wierd

The first time i read The Three Musketeers i started at the begining and 
read the forward even.  About half way through i though 'hmm, this voice 
sounds familiar" so i go to the end of the forward to see who wrote it and 
guess what "Steven Brust, PJF". I started laughing (I had read Phoenix 
Guards before Musketeers.) but it was definately something i thought to 
share here. Popcorn?
