    I have no idea how you are all such turbonerds and how you don’t get physically ill from absorbing every detail of some fictional metaphysics, or how it is even possible to maintain all this knowledge within 24 hours a day.

      Well I did read the Bible cover-to-cover years ago, but almost none of this was off the top of my head. I already knew of Brown–Driver–Briggs and the Klein Dictionary, but that’s kind of abnormal, and you could find them on your own if you were totally new to this.

      This was pretty much all cursory research from trying to actually evaluate what they said with an open mind. The only thing I knew going into this is what the prefix ‘phago-’ means.
