#2 Definitely too many clerics. Everyone knows you need a balanced party with wizards, fighters, at at least one elf.

#4 In Saudi Arabia, I don't see how this guy could be doing any better than p*****g in the wind and he may end up a whole lot worse. I hope his life insurance premiums are all paid up.

Oh, dude, I know it's just plain wrong, but I simply cannot resist, I'm so weak, a weak geek, that's what I am, sorry... :
DM of the Rings

Already had seen many of those individually, but only discovered the sequential blog posts a while ago, spent an afternoon readint the whole serie. It's just so... true. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

#6 And that's what a comments thread derailment looks like, too.

#8 I see your DM of the Rings, and raise you The Order of the Stick. (The link goes to the latest comic.)

Too many funny comics to mention, really, including this one from the end of the first story arc, which reminds me of some of the comments threads around here sometimes.

This has the system the Clerics in Saudi Arabia use: link.

Possibly brainier in context, but ~~Eagle Eye~~ ~~Old Blind~~ ~~Brainy Pete~~ finally comes to a bad end.

I can't find the one where Lord Shojo says "hell, I took the improved paranoia feat five levels ago."

I like this one because it's too much like my own familial relations.

Although in retrospect this became ominous, at the time it was funny: link.

#9 Too many clerics in SA and too many lawyers in the US. What to do with the surplus? Retrain?

#10 Maybe an exchange program.

But I'm unsure if Saudi Arabia deserves that sort of grief.

#11 thin the herd. Make it like a game where the clerics circle the chairs and when the Muezzin stops.....

I'd suggest feeding to the sharks, AP, but they won't touch either one. Professional courtesy, ya' know.
