If you spelled it correctly when you looked it up on Answer, why did you spell it incorrectly both times in your post? :tsktsk:

Whenever I see someone spell it "Karrass" I hope they're doing it on purpose, to say they think Karras is an ASS--"KarrASS.":erg:
But, Palantir, are you aware that "Father Karras" is also the name of the priest in "The Exorcist"?;)
