hehe A philosopher's someone who wears sandals and thinks alot, right?  You 
know, like that Sock Rateaze guy.
Sorry, but I have to agree with the change on this one.  Sorcerer = Merlin, 
Philosopher = ...Boring?  I mean, of course, considering the intended 
American target market - not the literate and learned people of this list.
