I was impressed by Niagra Falls. And where did the cliche about goats eating tin cans come from? Oh, that's easy. Goats are very curious, and since the only thing they have to grab with is their teeth... well, someone saw a goat chewing experimentally on a tin can and found it funny. Yours truly, T...

I was just running the Leonardo da Vinci calculation for proportion, and figured I'd run it through the average Rac'Conan sizes. Assuming an average size of 2'6", the average Rac'Cona Daimh: ... has a pace of 15 inches. ... stands three heads in height; this is actually a smaller proportion than a b...

Seriously, I wonder how the Rac'coonians maintain control. Goats are eating machines that can strip pastureland to the bare ground, almost as bad as sheep. Overgrazing's a constant problem with goats, and one of the minor causes of the range wars in the Old West. Perhaps I might offer a suggestion ...

Or put another way--- Our task is to make the consequences of going to war with us so vast, so terrible that no people on earth may contemplate it without shaking in fear. We are proving moderately successful at that. Recall Qadafi's sudden heartfelt cooperation with weapons inspectors, and his quo...

No, their system of measurement is not body-proportional. Everyone apparently keeps forgetting that, even though they've been in relative isolation for about 500 years, they were a nomadic subculture for much longer than that. What's more, when they DID trade with outside races, the common system o...

But I think you slipped a decimal place somewhere. Yes, I did. :oops: I was out of the house and on my way to visit my father when I realized I'd divided, not by hours, but by days ! Naughty wolfie! No dessert! You're quite right. An 8-hour day of travel would require a goat cart speed of no more t...

It tops out at around a thousand feet. I know the math's already been run, but I'm bored. :lol: Okay, that helps. Now, an average adult Rac Cona Daimh tops out around 2'6", giving them a distance to horizon of about 1.9 miles (I rounded up more the last time). At 1,000 feet, the distance to horizon...

:D It is a good policy. 'Course, it also helps to seize the high ground, and to have good battle tactics. Even a superior force can be slowly picked away at and destroyed with the right tactics. Personally, I think the best strategy is to kill as many of the enemy as possible, while losing as few o...

Never seen a hurizen? As poetic as that seems I sinserly doubt its posible. Sun set I can understand, but a Hurizan?? Maybe he wasn't paying any attention when he was in sanctuary then :shifty: 100miles in land is more then enough for the curvature of the earth itself to take effect I think, you're...

When was that date, then? According to the text of the resolution 1441: http://www.un.int/usa/sres-iraq.htm The resolution was adopted November 8, 2002. According to the terms and conditions, Iraq then had 30 days "from the date of this resolution" to provide "a currently accurate, full, and comple...

Correction: He's not going into GP anywhere, he's probably headed to a Supermax facility. Meaning he’s going into solitary. I assure you he’s in no danger of being beaten or anally raped - we know he deserves it, but we want to keep him alive. Read the article: No Supermax. Just max-sec. And as thi...

We lost. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/03/AR2006050300324.html You think so? You haven't seen what happens to the really hated cons "inside", I take it. He wouldn't be the first murdering loon to lie bleeding on the floor of the shower stalls... I do not rejoice in hi...

We've all heard the "flowers and candy" quote about Iraq, usually from people saying the President and his cabinet delivered the line. Others say it was a critic of the war, or one of our Iraqi informants wanting us to come in and get rid of Saddam. I found the answer. Even Google had a hard time wi...

BTW, removing other people's posts is bad form. I will be investigating that. Truthfully, STriker, we tend to assume that it's the esteemed (and occasionally e-steamed) Mr. Hayes doing the post removal. Since he is the moderator for this particular set of forums (Nip and Tuck, NPC, Goblin Hollow), ...

Well, the hot cross bun remedy can potentially serious side-effect, especially for the time. There is a kind of fungus that can grow in breads that can cause psycotropic reactions...which is where werewolf stories are said to originate (peasant goes mad, people claim that it's posession/transformat...

Heya, STriker! I was called here about an abuse report -- and it turns out to be your good old fashion, garden variety debate. Both viewpoints are very valid, and I see evidence towards both. Which leaves me to do this instead of the usual lock-n-ban: On anything comming out of Bush's mouth: I don't...

Right. And there was no "Mission Accomplished" banner on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, nor did Bush say anything about "major combat operations have ended." Because, TIMMEH, the mission of the USS abraham lincoln WAS accomplished. It wasn't put up there by Bush or anyone in the administra...

Just to be pedantic... :D The actual quote is: "If you want to send a message, use Western Union." ('Course, I guess you can't really do that anymore, since the Western Union telegram service is no more...) True, true.
