I'll admit I don't have the book in front of me, but it was pointed out to me this weekend that, on page 50 of Jhereg (Ace? Tor edition?) Vlad mentions Mario in a quote I never took much notice of before. Vlad is talking about Aliera, I believe, and says she had a graceful walk "reminiscent of Mario" (if anyone has the book handy, an exact quote would be appreciated). Our question was: How the hell would Vlad know how Mario walks if he's never seen the guy? Any guesses? Just a thought to get the week moving. <grin> :) Chris "Blind man's night is music to the deaf, and everyone has *two* paths, not one, whence comes tragedy and comedy, forsooth and damn straight, son." - "The Gypsy" - Brust & Lindholm
