You see here an iron
hookBut as for Queequeg -- why, Queequeg sat there among them --
at the head of the table, too, it so chanced; as cool as an
icicle. To be sure I cannot say much for his breeding. His
greatest admirer could not have cordially justified his
bringing his harpoon into breakfast with him, and using it
there without ceremony; reaching over the table with it, to
the imminent jeopardy of many heads, and grappling the
beefsteaks towards him.

@ "I suppose I should give it a chance though."
Odgen picks up the  
scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone,
With many a scalding tear and many a groan,
When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand,
Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand.
I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd
Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd--
I caught a finger: but the downward weight
O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate
The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst
The comfortable sun. I was athirst
To search the book, and in the warming air
Parted its dripping leaves with eager care.
Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on
My soul page after page, till well-nigh won
Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied,
I read these words, and read again, and tried
My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

I'm not sure I get it either... is this trying to say that Ogden is as stupid as a mindless monster like a flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack
against which you cannot prepare a perfect defense.

As I said before, the only thing I can figure is that Ogden is so stupid that he registers as a mindless monster (a flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack

of wikihack while confused and muddled up cursed scrolls of genocide and genociding while confused...
For some reason I thought that reverse genocide happened when confused.
But I like the idea of Ogden being the mentally equivilent to a flaming sphereThe attack by those who want to die -- this is the attack

OK... but I still don't understand why flaming spheres. That's kind of a strange choice to genocide. Unless you're trying to genocide the sun or something. (Which I could understand an orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the
goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous. The average orc
is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders,
a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur.
Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's.
Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested. Not
needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated
apparels. Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or
hordes. They tend to live underground as well as above
ground (but they dislike sunlight). Orcs can use all weapons,
tools and armours that are used by men. Since they don't have
the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly
hunting for them. There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot
use.

I must confess, I would genocide the sun if I was able to.
Oh for an eternal night spent on IRC. A man can dream...

I give it an F as Fogel finally facilitates the fissipation of the facia in a facunditerous manner.

And no, I'm not being facetious.

Why does the doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
