Vanity Plates

Professor Adam Pierson was returning to his office when he tensed, sensing an immortal presence. He relaxed a moment later when a quick glance down the corridor informed him it was just Duncan MacLeod ...

Who was staring dumfounded at his door.

“Duncan.”

“Yes?”

“What are you looking at?”

“This – this – THING!”

“It’s Oedipus. Not that odd considering I’m attached to the Classics department.”

“Oedipus?”

“Well, a translation, I’ll grant you, but it’s Oedipus none the less.”

“In Vanity Plates!? You’re 5000 years old. Didn’t you have anything better to do with yourself then put this thing together?” Duncan eyes never left the offending document.

“Sadly, I can’t take credit. I got this off the web.”

Duncan shot him a look of shocked disbelief then turned back to the door. A few moments later, he spoke up.

“Methos?”

“Yes?”

“Got any more?”

“Sure, come on in.”

The door closed behind them with a thud.
