two-thirds rounded up ...

2/3 = .666.... = .67 (rounded to the hundredth)= 67%

GG, thanks for the quick course in fractions, but I'd still like to know where these numbers/fractions come from...why not 75%/3/4 or what...it just seems to me I'd rather hear a player say I'm not completely healed yet rather then throwing out percentages or fractions in what his health status is.

Ha! I'd forgotten I get free math tutoring here.

At least 67 is 2/3. If he had said "I'm 78% there" I'd really worry...

Hey, if worse comes to worse, I'll show you how to live off the land...ala Rambo..."free" of charge.

You'd be surpised how good those damn Norway Rats down here in Florida taste after a long day...taste like chicken.
