    A newt is a salamander in the subfamily Pleurodelinae, also called eft during its terrestrial juvenile phase

    The newt is completely different. The newt rules.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    Moneybot's pet newt is a wise (also rumoured to be) a mystical creature who we all look to when we need advice.
    Newt also pops up when there is a lot of bullpoo going off (see the 'Selling your Soul' thread) or when someone asks a question regarding punctuation. The newt is seen more often than that other 'mystical creature' known as 'The Comping Fairy' (certainly mystical to me anyway) ;):rotfl::(
    Like I said, the Newt is wise, listen to the Newt ;):rotfl:
