More mythohistory stuff
In particular, the Delphic Sibyl was not actually connected with the Delphic Oracle itself; the NetHack Oracle is actually a reference to the Pythia; I also added notes on the different oracles referenced by the sound effects, and some more about rec.humor.oracle.
I'm also tentatively suggesting changing the title of that section to "History", as the Pythia is an actual historical figure. I've changed it to "Mythology & History" temporarily until I see if anyone agrees with me :-o GreyKnight 12:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
