Added DiffLines:

* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Anne can speak a number of different languages, however her intelligence (or lack of) tends to get in the way.

Added DiffLines:

* CriticalFailure: Anne only exists because of a mathematically improbable triple (!) botch during character creation, which left her with a 3 in Intelligence. As a result, she is literally dumber than a severed zombie hand, in game-terms.
