Had time to had a look in books! Monster ethics: MT [monster] Thomas Aquinas: 'Only the wise and the many-limbed may interpret Monster Law'.
"A monster is an individual substance of a greenish nature." Boethius
"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of very tall monsters" Newton (and Oasis if that isn't plagiarism what is?)
"It is much safer for a monster to be feared than loved" Machiavelli
Enough to keep you going!?!

INnnterestink...
I still need to think up a few requriements, as I haven't had much time. But what IS time? Do we move through it, or it around us, much as the planets around a sun? Is that why history is cyclical.
Or, as they say, "Stuff happens. What the hell."

The black armbands are in honor of a young h2g2 researcher who was killed in a motorcycle accident about a month ago...

Actually, an interesting topic was brought up by my peers.
It seems that there may be, in each person (or male, that is), a part which still behaves like the original animals that we might have been (personally, I don't like evolution, but then again, I hate rap, so who am I to judge).
A good discussion would be why this "animal self" feels so compelled to still prove that it is the highest or best around.
