Posting from Word

I just discovered a new feature of blogger, I can post from my good old Microsoft Word!

Now he is stuck in a middle-age inquisition dungeon, bearing different kinds of tortures, and guess what? I have to re-create every single detail, I cannot just skip the brutal scenes as I would if I were just reading it... sob... it breaks my heart, you know...
