Clairvoyant Goblins Saw fractal
Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to fractal returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'
Goblin children, taught about fractal in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'
