[WP] The knight failed to rescue the princess from the dragon. The second knight failed. As did the third, the fourth, their squires, and so on. In desperation, the king posts a reward, and the summons is answered by only one man; a fat plumber in red overalls.

[WP] The world hasn't seen a misspelled word in decades. The world hasn't seen a structurally unsound sentence in even longer. The world pretends that shorthand never existed. Because the world lives in absolute fear of the Grammar Nazis.

[WP] The Princess kisses you, turning you back into a beautiful royal yourself. Which is kind of shit, considering that you quite enjoyed being a frog.

[WP] Your loved ones constantly seem to attract evildoers and malcontents, intent on doing them harm at every turn! But they needn't fear! For you are a stalwart protector, a strong and loyal defender, and love a good belly rub. You are Fido. And you are the goodest boy.
