Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

Surrounded by lawyers who ask us for "searchable tifs." And who seem to think we keep databases of every project we've ever done, complete with the name of the case, the custodians involved, and cross-referenced with relevant legal precedents. (We, umm, printed the stuff on the disc. And then we gave the disc back. We kept a digital copy. It's called "_Disc [clientname] 09 15 07.")
Sometime soon, there's gonna be some huge industry-spanning lawsuit across a dozen cities or law firms or megacorps (at some level, those are interchangeable concepts) who are supposed to be keeping "digital archives" but what actually happened is "umm, our server backed up the hard drives, didn't it?"
