<div>Or something. </div>

<div>- The only time discrepancies we get told about explicitly involve him: messages around his birth, and his ethermail message to Cassie.</div>
<div>- He wears a watch but doesn't need to look at it.</div>
<div>- The only RC we know about in this story is his father Bob. Did HPL give the watch to Bob, ~150 years ago?</div>
<div>- Gid seems too old. Bob was the first ambassador to Woldercon; then Klausner; then Bill, up until a couple of years ago. Gid was born on Woldercon, and left when he was a child. Say he was five at the time, and say Sharon is right and he's around 35 now. That means say 28 years total for the ambassadorships of Klausner and Bill. But Bill's service was during the two terms of Ingstrup's presidency, so around 8 years. That makes Klausner ambassador for 20 years - how likely??</div>
<div>- How long is it between the time he gts his leg cut off and the time he reappears as Gil, prancing around on his peg-leg with a dancing demi-goddess on stage? Three months or so? How likely?? (But Gid is surely half-human at most, so maybe he has superior recuperation powers or something.)</div>
