 If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Eh, not very subtle. It would be funnier if they just portrayed Obama as incompetent, rather than having him tell the reader "I am incompetent" repeatedly. Plus, I find it hard to imagine Obama using that much "French". He's not really the emotional type, and he wouldn't want a repeat of the "that was stupid of him" outrage.  You want to mock him, imply that he's secretly a robot or something. |

So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

The mind transcends the body. It's also a little cold because of that. Please get it a blanket. I wish I could read your mind, I can barely read mine. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."
"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

You don't want either one of them exploding near your eye, though. |

Plus, you'd spill hot tea on yourself this way. |

True, but if you don't have the luxury of waiting for the right moment, the monocle is a better choice. The shock might make them spill their tea anyway. |

TVTropes is usually very humorous, but the current page quote for The Human Centipede is fairly funny. |

Last week, I failed to get back a math quiz because the teacher had apparently not found the sheet I turned in. Today, it turn out it was lying face-down on his desk and he went "Oh cool, more printing paper". I got it back today... with three pages of a thesis on Cepheids printed on top.
