He didn't know if Vi was gonna add to it or not. 2) Maybe Rogue WROTE the wiki entry, hmm? Didja thinka that Simmons? After reading a few comments I realize the book is a Disc World reference, I gotta get my hands on those, but my main thought about the description was the Necrnomicon. While I haven't actually seen the movie myself I know of it and get the reference. First off, in their defense: 1) Simmons did NOT let Virus finish.

The cover of the book in question is the old "Let Your Fingers Do The Walking" icon that the phone book covers used to have back when phone books were the only way to find a number you wanted. Thus, "The Book of the Phone Numbers of the Dead". American humor too, but old humor.

They are, in the main, hilariously funny and have sold more copies than a very large number of copies indeed. Different people will tell you different books to start with, but my suggestion is either "Men at Arms" and "Witches Abroad", depending on if you want male or female main characters. (No, they aren't the first books in their respective series, but I think they're the best). Go enjoy yourself.

Also I needed to check this fact on the cast page, kudos for redesigning it and adding more characters. Reading Virus's bio that he is a "radical inquisitor" and Nadia's that she is a "Tyrusian purist of the highest order" makes me want a team-up between them or at least a rom com.

With his one metallic paw, which HAS had a chainsaw in it at one point, he could easily have been a replacement for Ash Williams. That, and he'd probably muck up saying "Klattu...Verizon...Niktu" as well. Too bad Lothar isn’t involved.
