OK, I might get hollered at for cross-posting from the Oracularities,
but this is just too, too good not to share.
As the Zen Master said to the hot dog vendor, "Make me one with
everything."

=========================================
The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
> Oracle Most Triumphant and Glorious:
>
> I'm tired of drudgery, sick to death of small paychecks and large
> bills, and just bored with the conventional ordinariness of my life.
> My question is this:
>
> Oracle, How can I become a Hero?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
