Zeldapedia:Temple of Courage



Welcome to the Temple of Courage, where various characters from the Legend of Zelda series battle out on a semi-weekly basis! You, the people, are the deciding factors in these matches. Functionally, all of these battles are popularity contests and not "battles" as such. For instance, in a boss vs. boss fight, we suggest that you vote for the one you like the most rather than whether or not one enemy would beat another in a legit fight. This is only a suggestion, though.

You can suggest a fight or vote or comment on others on the suggestions sub-article.

Rules

 * You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in a competition between the two combatants that week.
 * You may only vote once.
 * If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. However, any votes put in the anonymous sections will only count as a half vote.
 * When a new fight is created (the process should take no longer than a week, give or take a couple of days), the votes from the last fight will be totaled and winner decided.
 * Please sign your vote (unless you want to be counted as an anonymous vote) with a link to your username in front of your eventual voting text.
 * Don't try to rig the votes by entering multiple votes; these pages are regularly patrolled and you WILL face consequences if you are caught.
 * Please don't use talk templates.

Week 76: Dark Dragon vs. Stallord
{| style ="width: 100%;" size=5 color="black">Winner! "Undecided" LLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We are now proud to present to you the 76th week in the Temple of Courage! All right! And now, for your viewing (and voting) pleasures, we present to you a bout for the World Super-Heavyweight Championship!

In the dark purple corner, we have a massive, evil dragon. The true form of General Onox, he was created by Twinrova, favors hand-swipes and fire-blasts, and treasures the jewel on his forehead; I present to you the DARK DRAGOOOOOOOOOOON!

And in the sandy corner, we have an equally humongous skeleton. The lord of Arbiter's Grounds, he was brought to life by Zant, can blast dark fire, and withstand endless attacks; Let's hear it for STALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLORD!

So, two giant, merciless dragons shall now face off for the title tonight. But which beast is the ultimate? That, my dear voters, is up to you! I don't want to get squashed in the resulting conflict, so LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! Yeah!

Votes for Dark Dragon

 * 1) This is one of my favorite final bosses in the seres, and to be honest I never thought the Stallord fight was near as good as people give it credit for. It was a good fight but I didn't think it was that special. Besides, Onox himself is just cool.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:16, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) One of the best battles of all time and also from one of my favorite games off all time. What more needs to be said. --Birdman5589 (talk) 01:17, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) This boss battle is just insane. It took every bit of gaming skill on my part to beat him (note: this was back in 2001, when I was still having trouble beating games like Tonic Trouble. It does NOT apply to my skills today) I love the Stallord fight, but I could still do it with one hand tied behind my back and the other wrapped around Lucy Liu. I loves me a good challenge and that's why Dark Dragon wins. --Auron  Kaizer !  05:47, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Second greatest final bos battle in the series in my opinion Oni Dark  Link 18:37, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) One of the best bosses in the series, and also one of the hardest.... Oddball 464 01:28, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Final boss vs. not final boss.  Onox wins.--DarkTriforce (talk) 22:17, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Dark Dragon For The Win! --Mr kmil
 * 8) Just look at him! Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 16:36, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) Stallord was too easy. Gludd20
 * 10) Stallord is dead. Dead, dead, dead. To deadity. However, Dark Dragon was- as in the name- a dark dragon. How uberific? Not just a dragon, but a dark dragon! Dude, DD (Dark Dragon) for the win. -- ⽩㤖㒾 - 㑻  00:53, December 11, 2009 (UTC), your man of the world.
 * 11) Dark dragon was the most difficult Zelda boss from the Oracle series, he gets my vote. Zephyr Blade
 * 12) Close call, but this battle is more nostalgic to me. Using Roc's Cape to jump on Dark Dragon's hands and stuff was funner than using the spinner. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 06:27, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Stallord is just gonna win because hes from twilight pricess, just look at the last two rounds, wind waker characters lost every time.  I think the only fight a twilight princess character didn/t win was majora vs zant.
 * 2) Dark Dragon is a final boss. Stallord is not.
 * 3) Dark Dragon is the beast form of one of my favourite characters
 * 4) I have no idea who this guy is, but he seems pretty epic in my book. I love what I hear.

Votes for Stallord

 * 1) This boss fight was really fun. It was likely the best boss fight in the entire game. And he looks a lot cooled then that thing over there. -Twili Tetra
 * 2) I'm gonna go with Stallord. There were some things, as I've pointed out more times than I should, like the Spinner, that deserved more usage evenly spread throughout the game. But regardless of that, there is no denying that when the Spinner had its moment of glory, it was one heck of a moment. What an incredibly epic battle.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 3) I liked the fight. --  C  2  / C C  13:16, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) While the Dark Dragon was an awesome fight, this one is quite more fun with the Spinner. It´s almost like fighting over a skateboard ramp!!  The Gerudo Guy
 * 5) Ooh, this is a hard decision for me. I've seen Dark Dragon before, and he's awesome, but I've never played Oracle of Seasons, although I've actually beaten Stallord (three times) and he's pretty awesome too, so...I'll have to go with Stallord. Besides, think of what he must have been like when he was alive! Hm... Ceiling Master
 * 6) Super Awesome Epicness Armageddon1844
 * 7) C'm on. He's a giant dragon skelton, he can survive multiple hits, he's pretty much one of the coolest bosses in the series, and he was created by Zant. What's not to love? Sincerely, Watcher.
 * 8) I have always thought this guy was the best plus iam a fan of any of the stal enimies. --Awesomedude1996 (talk) 22:20, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) I love battles with an emphasis on speed. Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:24, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) He's a skeletal dragon! You can't argue with that! Sir Real
 * 11) Oh yeah, this guy kicks butt man. He's a SKELETAL DRAGON! -- Χάκερ   σκιών  04:44, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Um.....I have no idea who Dark Dragon is and Stallord is pretty cool. As mentioned above, he's a SKELETAL DRAGON! How can you NOT vote for that? (Even though it took me FOREVER to beat him...)--Pika with a Sword and Shield
 * 13) I just like the thought of breaking someones back.Solar flute (talk) 03:06, December 10, 2009 (UTC
 * 14) I loved fighting this boss! SO MUCH FUN!

 * 1) Onox was a freak, and look at the stubby displaced arms on the Dark Dragon! Now Stallord is awesome. He can spit dark fire(or extreme halitosis), he is surrounded by what appeares to be the zombified corpses of all the soldiers it took to kill him, and he keeps fighting even after his entire skeletal system besides his head is ground into powder!
 * 2) Much more deadly, he is.-Yoda
 * 3) He's way better. 05:30 December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Stallord is the one boss from Twilight Princess I wish I could fight over and over again.
 * 5) Onox is a ugly freak and dark dragon is worse. STALLORD IS AWESOME.
 * 6) AGAIN, better game better boss, 'nuff said
 * 7) This was probably one of the best boss fights of any Zelda game.
 * 8) Stallord is a kickass version of Bongo Bongo, he is awesome.Take that Onox
 * 9) this guy was THE BEST boss fight ive ever been in way better than even majora! idont care if the other guy is a final boss it doesnt matter it does however matter if you had fun and a challenge in the fight i didnt have much of an issue fighting this guy but i sure had fun
 * 10) stallord is way better.
 * 11) Stallord is the one TP boss I wish I could ressurect just to fight him again.  Not my most favorite Zelda boss, but he's up there
 * 12) Stallord was an EPIC boss

Hey WATCHER, did you mean to put your vote in the Anon section?-- C  2  / C C  23:50, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * If he did, the fact that he signed his name kind of defeats the purpose of the anonymous votes section....  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:16, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * And it only counts as half of a vote.-- C  2  / C C  00:18, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * My guess is he doesn't think Stallord is worth a full vote. --Birdman5589 (talk) 01:17, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Then why did he sign it? It is perfectly acceptible for a user to have an anon vote, as long as he/she doesn't sign.-- C  2  / C C  13:13, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I just noticed. Theres no really epic offical art work of dark dragon. There should be in my opinion. Oni Dark Link 18:51, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, all right, I made a mistake. My bad. Sincerely, Watcher.

Ugh, anonymous voter #6 for Stallord is so annoying. I bet he/she would vote for anything from TP over anything from any other game just because TP is the "better game".  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:25, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * 'nuff said... well at least they have a catch phrase --Birdman5589 (talk) 18:38, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I think I'd risk ZP turning into a totalitarian state only to be able to ban people who automatically vote for TP. --Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  20:38, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd second that motion, but that would defeat the purpose of totalitarianism. Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:22, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Why don't we have a go at it? If it doesn't work we will just have the normal users rise up against us. We will still be in control, but not "offically".-- C  2  / C C  00:24, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, wonder what think of anon vote #1 for Dark Dragon... --<font color="SteelBlue">Yowuza yadderhouse | meh 16:36, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Kmil, we've had people use template sigs in the past and they tend to mess up the numbering. Could you use a normal sig at least for the Temple of Courage?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  03:28, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Week 75: Malo vs. Zunari

In the green corner is a diminutive, almost infantile being who possesses great knowledge of business as well as a caustic, sarcastic disposition! From the village of Ordon, the greatest businessman Hyrule has ever seen...THIS. IS. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALO!

And in the purple corner, a hooded figure from a far-off island who came to Windfall Island to seek his fortune! A merchant whose honor and loyalty to other merchants is indisputable, and who works as an auctioneer at night...THIS. IS. ZUNAAAAAAAAAAAARI!

Our two slick merchants will now battle for the rights to advertise their business on Zeldapedia! And don't forget to stimulate the Temple of Courage's economy by buying something from the concession stand! Now then, let slip the dogs of war and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Malo

 * 1) Malo is an awesome, wacky little devil, and an original character at that. I like the little guy because he reminds me of me as a sumo baby. Zunari is just...weird and is probably related to Tingle in some way. Malo is the superior salesman here. It's not like he paid me off to vote for him or nothing! Erm, look over there! --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  22:39, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Malo is just a much more interesting character. Zunari is...um cool I guess but Malo is quite simply superior.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  22:42, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Ahem..."Why Malo is Awesome" by Old Wise Hehn. Malo is simply one of the most awesome characters in all video gaming. Think about it. At his age, what were you doing? Fingerpainting and throwing temper-tantrums? This guy, however, started a successful chain of general stores, built a bridge and bought out the snobbiest shop in Hyrule. Think about what he'll be doing at age eighteen. My guess is that he'll be the first Hyrulean on the moon (excluding Link).-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 22:45, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I really wanted to vote for Zunari just because I knew Malo is going to win in a landslide because how is it even possible to think that somebody is better then him. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:00, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Lessee here...at age 5 (approximately), Malo has the intelligence of a thrity-five-year-old. That makes his IQ...roughly 700. So, he's over four times more intelligent that Albert Einstein if I did my math right. O_O Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:49, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Zunari sells.....decorative flowers. DECORATIVE FLOWERS. And some flags and statues, even a golden one of himself, which can be used on TWO islands. Two of the... um....forty-nine? And they're all useless and way too pricey. Malo, on the other hand, sells practival items that the player might actually purchase. It also must be noted that Zunari is a freak and Malo is not. -Twili Tetra
 * 7) you cant beat someone who gives you the hawkeye i mean seriously--Ironknuckle1 00:22, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) I'd vote for Zunari, but Malo bought me out.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 9) Malo's awesome, and I always hated how Zunari tricks you into skipping the explaination of the auction. That's not business, that's just cheap! Oh, and did I mention that Malo is awesome? LapisScarab (talk) 03:30, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) i like the music that plays in his stores, plus the low prices. Armageddon1844
 * 11) Malo is just awesome. My favorite TP character.--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:45, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Frankly I find Malo's appearance a little... "disturbing". But he's a freaking economic genius. And he kinda promised me a custom-fit set of Magic Armor if I voted for- Don't look at me like that, all the ones he sells in the store are too damn small! Diachronos (talk) 04:40, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) I simply can't understand why anyone would prefer Zunari. I reckon he'd be the founder of Hyrule's first university. --<font color="SteelBlue">Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 17:51, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * 18) Malo, hands down! He's smarter, more ruthless and all-round a better businessman! Rovanus (talk) 05:18, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 19) Malo is one of the coolest characters in all of the series. I'd vote for him any day. Ceiling Master 01:50, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) again, better game, better player. 'nuff said
 * 2) malo lowers the hyrule shop prices down from like 5000 rupees to a reasonable sum. oh, and anonymous zunari vote 2, he has 2 eyebrows, kind of
 * 3) this little fella is WAY advanced for his age, as he´s practically a pint-sized Rockefeller. Also, you get some of the coolest items in TP thanks to him and his stores (Hawkeye, Magic Armor, Hylian Shield). Zunari´s only useful item is the sail, and that´s it.
 * 4) Malo is a frikking AWESOME midget.  How could you not like him?
 * 5) Malo is awesome! He is small and is much cooler.
 * 6) Zunari talks too much. Malo gave me something to save up my rupees for.
 * 7) You bought it, and if you're smart, then you bought it at Malo Mart! (also, not the biggest Wind Waker fan)
 * 8) Malo gave me a peice of heart, a hawk eye, and a hylan sheld, and hes going to guive me magic armor! go malo! p.s. i didnt play wind waker
 * 9) Malo was actually helpful. And he made a good thing out of a bad situation. I mean, if you were kidnapped by an ugly monster you'd probably sit in the Sancuary crying but Malo, oh Malo, he made a living out of that. And Zunari did practically nothing, came from a cold island, from what, the ice island's head?! Backround story for Malo is just way cooler.
 * 10) Frankly, I find Malo vey annoying, even more annoying than Midna, Navi and Tatl put together. That's gotta count for something!LunaLink

 * 5) There is no doubt that Zunari wins for me.  Although they are both short and difficult to see over the counter...Zunari is better prepared for elements of crazed bargain hunters.  Just look at the fur lined coat that he has.  No frosty glares, from women who just found out that one of your deals expired the day before, could chill his soul.  One vote for Zunari. pauj
 * 6) zunari is the man with a plan who comes from a distant land. he is also an eskimo. how many eskimos are there in zelda??? --Randy w 234 (talk) 19:34, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) It's just one of those things. I liked Zunari the second I saw him... but for like the first month I had the game I thought when Malo used the small text it was his thoughts and he was some mind-control baby thing and he just freaked me out and I never liked him. Zunari all the way. User3000

 * 1) zunaris better. he has an awesome stache
 * 2) hes got a hood!   Hoods beat mutant unibrow kids any day!  HOODS FTW!
 * 3) I cannot understand why anyone would like to vote for a baby-looking rip-off.. guess only semi-zelda fans who only played Twilight Princess and the cool people who actually know what they are talking about.. Still, I never liked Malo.. his Malo Mart soundtrack was absoluhutly crappish.
 * 4) Because Malo is a jerk-face poo-head cheapskate.
 * 5) I prefer Wind Waker over Twilight Princess for one. Zunari is a more competent shop owner (Well, they both required Link's help). Malo takes your rupees, and opens a shop where old people try to reach over the counter? Creepy in my thoughts. Twilight Princess's Magic Armor was based on rupees. Wind Waker's used magic, and Twilight Princess didn't have magic. I'll stick with Zunari over Malo. -Anonymous Person
 * 6) This guy doesn't yell like the baby. How could a baby run a shop?

this fight is just ridiculously one-sided--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:44, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I find it amusing that two of Zunari's votes are for his 'stache, one is "Meep", and the other refers to Malo as a mutant with a unibrow...despite the picture clearly showing that Malo has two obviously separate eyebrows...LapisScarab (talk) 06:36, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Zunari's got more of a unibrow than Malo... Diachronos (talk) 14:26, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Even though Malo is WAY cooler than Zunari, I'd like to point out that you get the Magic Armor from both of them, not just Malo.

Yes, that purple crystal was Magic Armor! Just in a not-as-cool form. --Dawn Of A New Day 00:36, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous 3 for Zumari doesn't really make sense. They can't understand who would vote for Malo except semi-fans and cool people?--DarkTriforce (talk) 01:16, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Anon number 4 for Zunari gave me a good laugh.

In the red corner is a courageous, if pigheaded youth from Ordon Village. Brother of Malo and another admirer of Link...has performed such feats of wonderment with the stick that would impress even the most battle-worn stick warrior...'''THIS. IS. TAAAAAAAAAAALO!!!!'''

Votes for Joel

 * 1) He wins because he has to put up with his brother's snot all day, every day.  You have to be hardcore to survive that.   Metroidhunter32  22:41, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I hate the person to the right as well as the rest of the Ordon Village children. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 23:24, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) He's a badass in his own way. Also, his cries of "yay" are so completely ambiguous as to whether or not they were a compliment or a comment on Link's innate level of fail. Joel receives some minor sympathy points for being the first thing I took of a screenshot of in TWW. But it's not enough. It's better than a sharp stick in the eye, at least. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  22:09, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, I dunno, I just didn't really like Joel or his family. His mom is fat and his brother really needs a tissue. Besides, Talo has a bigger stick. —<font color=#00009C>Lisa  <font color=#A76BCF>URAQT  Tetra.png 22:15, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I'd feel like an a-hole if I didn't vote for my favorite character's brother.-- MaloMart  ( talk )Malo.png 23:09, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Joel never really interested me in the slightest. At least Talo's antics could be comical on occasion. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:57, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Talo actually has some meaning to the plot, while Joel is only indirectly connected to a minor side quest. LapisScarab (talk) 03:15, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) He is the nightmare to anyone...under the age of 6.--RH 17:43, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Well his brother is malo user:armageddon1844
 * 8) I laughed when I first tried to enter Kakariko as a wolf and he screamed to warn everyone. Oddball 464 02:14, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) There is no way around it...I rarely spent anytime talking to or being annoyed by Joel.  Talo, on the other hand, had much more in game content for me.  So I go with the one that more quickly personifies the traits and qualities that made them similar. pauj
 * 10) Talo, please. Badass-in-training. Not to mention props for putting up with Beth. She'd drive me crazy wolfsvalentine
 * 11) Talo is just so much cooler. 'Nuff said. --Nunovanhalen (talk) 17:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Talo is badass 'nuff said--Ooccoo jr (talk) 18:54, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) This battle would've been fun to watch. Anyways, Joel has no importance in the plot, he's just there. Malo is not my favorite character but he is far cooler. User:Snakeboss14
 * 14) Talo KICKS. ANYBODY'S. ***. --<font face="bank gothic" color="green">Z3 <font face="bank gothic" color="orange">1T) <font face="bank gothic" color="red">6 <font face="bank gothic" color="purple">311  08:12, November 27, 2009 (UTC), your man of the world.
 * 15) I was gonna vote for the other guy, but he never. Ever. Does ANYTHING important in the game. Even though Talo is really annoying he still beats Joel. And anonymous voter number six...I can't think of anything to say to that...I have no idea if you made that mistake on purpose....? - Twili Tetra
 * 16) I only vote for him because...... I want to. --Randomnessity

Anonymous votes

 * 1) He's the brother of Malo, he actually uses the stick as a sword. 'nuff said
 * 2) I just never really liked Wind Waker that much.
 * 3) He was trained by Link, how do you beat that?
 * 4) He steals swords, chases after monkeys, jumps up and down like an immature baby, and cries as well. Joel is just a wus.
 * 5) Kid with a big stick and training with it versus some wimp whose bro really needs some meds 4 his annoying cold?  No question!
 * 6) I hate them both but, I guess I'll vote for her
 * 7) If Link trains him hard enough, he could also become a hero
 * 8) better game, better fighter. 'nuff said
 * 9) Cooler, Malo is.-Yoda
 * 10) Well, Talo has a bigger stick, and he actually USES it.
 * 11) Talo's kind of creepy looking.
 * 12) Twilight beats WW any day

EveryDayJoe, if I'm ever running against you for a political office, would you mind if I quote you saying that you hate children?-- MaloMart ( talk )  05:37, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well seeing as Joel is a kid too... --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 07:01, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * In my first playthrough, I thought Talo, Malo and Colin were female, for some reason.--RH 17:48, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, Talo and Malo are guys? but I played the whole game... Turtleman579  06:41, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can understand thinking Talo is girl, but Malo?-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 07:02, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

 * and his skill with a stick is unparalleled across the Great Sea... Anyone want to change that to sound a little less...ummm? Hylianhero777

LOL, Talo anonymous vote 6, Talo's a guy. Jedimasterlink (talk) 01:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

 * Become my apprentice. Learn from the Dark Side of the Force. (This is just brimming with irony...) Jedimasterlink (talk) 21:22, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * JML, it's even better than you think, I'm a big-time Star Wars fan, too. I can do a perfect Palpatine voice as a matter of fact--RH 03:26, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's my special talent! --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  03:29, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * OMG are you serious?! things have officially gotten bizzare. I accidentally start a cross-dressing conspiracy, a jedi tells a zombie hunting jedi to turn to the dark side, followed by the knowledge that me and AK share the talent to impersonate science-fiction dictators. WHAT NEXT?!--RH 04:16, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
