For Your Delectation, Three Games We Invented Last Night

1. "Rough Guide to Copenhagen" or "How To Survive A Robot Uprising"?, in which players must identify from which of those two fine books a (very) short extract is taken. Not as easy as it sounds.
2. Read The Headlines Backwards, in which you do exactly what it says on the hypothetical tin. Every bit as dull as it sounds almost all of the time.
3. Greek or Roman?, in which Paul is presented with a classical figure and asked to identify whether they are Greek or Roman.

I'm almost certain this post wasn't actually there on the whatever-it-is of January. In fact, I've never seen it before in my life. Did you just post it with that date so that it would look like you had, in fact, updated within the last four months at the point at which I hacked your account? (does it count as hacking if I knew the password? i rather think not, but then I don't know what the technical definition of hacking is and I can't think of a better word...) Or am I actually going crazy?

(Damn, I gave away my not so secret identity... darn it all)

Well, I'd written it then, but I saved it as a draft by mistake, so it wasn't actually there, no.
