Well, the correct way to bypass this rule is to go with a quadruple post.

This is yet more proof that I am older and wiser than most of the lifeforms here.

Cheers!

Hehe How about a quintuple post?? As far as your age, David, I don't know about that. I've been around awhile too. Merry Christmas

Being an RPG character is almost as good. If you die, you can be brought back using magic spells or items... or just reload the Last save game, or start a new one.

If you're high level, you can sustain lots and lots of damage, inflict lots of damage, and carry around an absurd amount of stuff with you. (In one of the FF games, I think it was IV, you carry around CABINs, and whenever you need to rest, you just pull one out of your pocket and sleep in it, and you wake up all healed.)

I don't understand this military ranking system. A major is above a lieutenant, and yet a lieutenant general is above a major general... why?

It's modeled after real world rank systems, and that's how real world world ranks systems do it. As to why the real world rank systems do that, I am sure there is a historical reason that makes sense. But I don't know it.

I googled it and found a good page explaining it.
