The problem of grues is, of course, their recursive nature. To wit: A) Grues are found wherever it is very dark. B) There are no light sources on the inside of a grue. Therefore, being eaten by a grue is a fate which entails being eaten by an infinite number of progressively smaller grues, presumably nested in a geometrically complicated and interesting way. The proper way to unify quantum mechanics with this theory, that of grueitvity, is to date unresolved, and an active field of research among professional zorkologists.

What's happening!? For those "in the dark:"

> what is a grue? The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

These weren't partickly funny, but they get a pass due to giving me a) nostalgia glow and b) text-games insider smug, which I desperately need now that I don't play games much.

1) in a similar Zorky vein, I recommend Lost Pig, a sort of Zork-inspired Interactive short story. 2) I was discussing this game with my friend (my friend, mind you, not my housemate's young niece, or something) and mentioned Zork. She'd never heard of it. I thought about it a bit, asked her how old she was, and realized that I had first played Zork the year before she was born! <shrug> I guess I'll get more used to this, the older I get?

Squid Voltaire: in a similar Zorky vein, I recommend Lost Pig, a sort of Zork-inspired Interactive short story. That game's awesome. It was the winner of the most recent IF competition -- well-deserved, too. Try eating your pants and things like that.

When playing Ancient Domains of Mystery, if a pc has both the "doomed" and "cursed" intrinsics, there is roughly a 1 in 1000 chance that they will be eaten by a grue on any unlit space. Grues blow.

Just so y'all know, those (surprisingly unfunny, unidiomatic) LOLGrues are by the best contemporary writer of interactive fiction, Andrew Plotkin (the man responsible for Capture The Flag With Stuff). If you like IF at all, you need to play his games.
