so i had what i thought was a fantastic idear.

a character named HURD, to fill the role of the dude what condemns robbie to his fate.

HURD, similar to Herod.

HURD, as in the GNU HURD, a total geek joke, appropriate for a scifi story.

then some wiseacre pointed out that it was pilate, not herod, that i was thinking of.

dammit!
