I got an A for my seminar! My professor liked my essay. And I sucessfully argued that the belief that homeopathy has no curative power* and the belief that it could serve a purpose in treating such things as depression and chronic pain are not mutually contradictory because of the placebo effect. Go me!

* by homeopathy, I go by the definition as it being strictly the technique of 'like cures like' -- basically one gives the pateitn a ridiculously small amount (our speaker, a practicing homeopathist, said that some of her remedies were under one part in Avogadro's number) of a substance that, if given in large amounts, will cause the same symptoms of the disease. Herbs I put a little more trust in, though I do with our government would regulate alternative medicine practices more so when you buy something like this, you know wat you get.

Okay, I am thinking of starting an online roleplaying game based around L-sama's Four Worlds. Problem is, while Ceipheed/Ruby Eye's and Vorfeed/Dark Star's worlds are both well-developed, the other two aren't, especially in the translated sources.

So, I am asking for help in tracking down any and all information on them. If you can steer me towards wbesites or even rumors you heard, it would be helpful. Also, anything you know about connecting Lost Universe and Slayers would be helpful. I think I have things worked out, but I always could use a check.)

And, yes, I will probably post an invite to the game once I get it up.
