This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They do this in some castles to trip up the invaders

Not invaders but assassins. The people who belong to the castle will be used to the stairs. Any outside intruders will stumble about and therefore be heard.

That's a subtle ingenious trap.
