[Numbers has rewritten this post dozens of times before he's landed on something he feels is vague enough to slip under the radar for those watching, but is coded to those who were at the dinner party.]

I enjoyed last week's dinner party. I remember people talking about organizing a club or activity of some sort, and I'd like to suggest making a book club. I've been trying to catch up on my reading, anyways.

[Never mind the fact that Numbers would rather die than read for fun.]

Personally, I've been reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But does anyone have any book suggestions? Preferably, something that can garner some interesting literary discussion and analysis.

Hm. Interesting. In the cases of Caesar and Napoleon, though, don't they both come to a bitter end? I mean, Caesar got stabbed and Napoleon

I don't know didn't he get put on an island or something

Anyways. I see what you're saying. I think. Under your proposed theory, is this extraordinary trait something that people are born with? Or something that they can grow into throughout their lives?

yes, anpoleon was exilned on an insland. his convetmporaries didnt underrstanc his vision,.

extraoridhnaty people would be born extraoridary. at least, an ordianty man wouldnt be able to become an estraordinary man.

Could an ordinary man kill an extraordinary man?

[The most pertinent question to Numbers.]

[inaxorable]

well, yes. he could. but it wouldnt be morally juistifiable.

[ A too-long pause before the next message. ]

not taht any murder is justifiabkle.
