A while back, while bored in algebra class (I am since graduated), I started drawing a cartoon called "Behoove the Mountain Ninja", about this ninja that had odd ways of helping people (I.E, helping an old lady cross the street by drop kicking her through on-coming cars windows).
Now, for the longest time, I alwasy thought Behoove was just some random word I made up.
Untill I came to the CS forums. I now see in many posts from Blizzard guys, Behooving people, say to contact X for help with X. Only here, in relation to WoW, can ones vocabulary be expanded!
Thanks Blizzard guys, I behoove you to have a good day! :D
