***You Are Somewhat Machiavellian***<BR>
<BR>
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...<BR>
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.<BR>
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.<BR>
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!<BR>

The New Blender is here!<BR>

Hey, does someone want to Review something for next month's Digest? Something with a bit of a romantic theme, though there's a bit of leeway with just how romantic it is...hell, even talking about the romance in King Kong could work, if you were so inclined.<BR>
<BR>
Just an idea. Let me know!
