I recently bought a computer RPG (Role Playing Game) called Baldur's Gate II. My character in the game is a mage (also called a wizard) and has the ability to call forth a familiar, which is a pet of sorts that helps his or her master when needed. Well, guess what my familiar is? A ferret! I couldn't believe it! The description says "This is your familiar, a ferret, currently curled up and safe in your backpack. The ferret is an incredibly quick and agile animal, hard to hit and magically made resistant to both damage and spells. The ferret's uncanny ability to get into almost anything unseen makes it a handy pickpocket." Isn't that funny? :) Amber and the gang [Posted in FML issue 3197]
