I once knew a man, Jake, from Poland-Lithuania, back in the 1560's; and he loved to use his long rod to jump. Jake knew a man, an athletic man, a german, named Walter. And this Walter simply loved his Yams, because back in Germany, his mother used to make him the best Yams when she was listening to her Jazz Music. So, meanwhile, one day, Jake forgot and lent his long rod to Walter. That day, the Olympic Committee came and found this athletic man holding a long rod. And the man on the committee asked, "Are you a Pole Vaulter"? and Walter said "Heck no. I'm German through and through. I'm disgusted that you can't tell a pole from a German" so Walter left and went to America, where he married a Lucy Stoner who was the daughter of the Trombonist for Louis Armstrong's Hot Five; who was known to bake very good yams. So, Walter never ever forgot that he only met his wife because of that pole, that long rod, so he named his son after the two things he loved, but Walter could never remember how to spell Pole, he spelled it as Pol.
Thomas More: Heck no! I stopped eating inspectors years ago! You know they give me indigestion. Meanwhile, I'm going to go tease protestants. And by "tease" I mean "do terrible things to". Wanna come?
Erasmus: Man, More, no. Just no. I became Prince of the Humanists by being tolerant of people, and I'm not going to lose that title just to see your professional protestant-persecuting-preformance. Could you try being nice to the Protestants? You are a smart enough fellow to know what you're doing is wrong.
More: Naw, I mean, following your conscience can't possibly end up right in this corrupted world, in this world of good people corrupted by the institutions of society. Besides, Protestants are the second biggest threat to England, after Henry VIII's marriage situation; and, like I said, no way am I following my conscience there.
Erasmus: Oh, come on, More. What's the worst that could happen if you opposed Henry VIII in this marriage thing?

Hey, you have free time?
Could you please please please read the book The King's Shadow by Elizabeth Alder (don't look up reviews, they're too spoilery, don't read the back of the book, it's too spoilery, don't ask me what it's about, just read it, okay? It's a great book and nobody ever reads it).
If you gave Norman Borlaug a huge amount of money, would he suddenly become a turd-bucket?
Now, I know that a lot of scumbags are rich, and a lot of rich people are scumbags, and people can scumbag themselves into richness, and scumbags typically seem to have a competitive advantage over people not willing to do awful things to get rich; but it is possible to have riches and not be a scumbag.
A 99.99999999 per-cent correlation does not equal causation. I doubt you could make Anonus become a scumbag.

Has it ever occurred to you that nobody reads it because they don't know what it's about?

Okay, okay, it's about Evyn of Carmarthen, a Welsh boy who has a natural gift for singing and storytelling. He lives in the time when Wales is becoming Christianized but there are still worshipers of Mithras.
Bah, I can't make it sound interesting without being spoilery.

I can't tell how serious you are being here, and that worries me.
