With each kill, I grow wiser, and with added wisdom, I grow stronger. Does anybody have any idea what this means?

Just to be pedantic, I presume that by "inventions", we mean things created. The others (fire,etc.) were there all along and thus are more properly termed "discoveries"

P.S. Just for the record, it is Saturday a.m. and I am very slightly hungover http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

yeah the written word is great, but what cave would we be living in if some bright individual hadn't figured out to give things names and start a spoken language?
