RH said Raconans are about 2ft tall on average, right? I'm wondering, how tall are Ben Bruin and Nip and Tuck, for purposes of comparison? I ask because I've been thinking of doing a fanart with all the RHverse main characters.

I'm takin' a wild stab at this and saying that:

Ben 6'-6'4"
Lily 5'4"
Fred 5'2" (6'2" at the ears)
Penny 5'
The Posse: Morty is 3'-3'5" and everybody else is 2' something with Velvet the smallest.

Nip & Tuck....I'm guessing that everybody is in the 4-5' range with Gus Gunthrie and the Pastor Wolverine 6'+ Tagger and the other kits 2 1/2-3' tall.

These are all just guesses, but you could email or PM Ralph for more accuracy.

that's about right, I'd say.

Good job Shar, you win the magic prize for the day. A hand grenade.

Tomorrow's prize being the pin for said grenade.

Wow, that's hard core, and I thought I was crazy.

Trust me, my friend......under combat conditions, you do whatever it takes to keep even one weapon available.....and never give a thought to the dangers....only to the consequences if you needed it and didn't have it.

And yeah....a LOT of folks thought I was totally bonkers......but guess who they yelled for first whenever they got hurt.

Very wise words, thank you.

I reading TOTQ from the beginning today, and I noticed that in this panel http://npc.keenspace.com/d/20020113.html there is an alligator hanging from the ceiling. When I saw it, I remembered a Bond film where 007 uses such a thing as a cover to approach the bad guy's liar. Later, it is seen hanging from the ceiling as well. RH, was that a source of inspiration, like Rillcreek's chamber kind of like Q's workshop, or I just grasping at straws and it just a coinidence?

How would you use that thing if the pin's been out for a while? I thought removing the pin triggered the fuse (but it wouldnt detonate until the spoon was released)

Yes .... this probably shows my complete lack of familiarity with explosives

*Dons his drill instructor's hat*

Awright maggot, lissen up cuz I'm only gonna say this once, so yed better pay attention!

Allow me to introduce to you the M-67 fragmentation grenade. There are three safeties on this device!

First is the safety clip located in the center of the spoon of the grenade. As long as the safety clip is in place, even though the pin is pulled the spoon will remain in place and the grenade will not go off.

*flicks off safety clip with a deft motion of the thumb*

Second is the pin. This is attached to the pull ring that is removed prior to the employment of the device. DO NOT pull the pin until the device is ready to be employed!

*pulls the pin and hands it to Blatech to look at*

Third is the spoon. That is the long piece of sheet metal that travels from the top of the fuse to the mid point of the grenade body. As long as pressure is maintained on the spoon against the grenade body, the fuse will not ignite and the grenade will remain inert.

However, once the spoon is released, the fuse activates and you will have between five and eight seconds before detonation of the device.

FRAGOUT!

*tosses the grenade into the Acme instant grenade range, the spoon flies free once it is released from the hand and 5 - 8s later we are rewarded with a terrific BOOM!*

Any questions?

Just one ... can i have a go?!

Correct as usual.

Don't see why not....just remember this:

"Once you have released the safety clip and pulled the pin.....Mr. Grenade is NOT your friend!!!":o

I just love that saying....it's right up there with loving the smell of napalm in the morning.

BOLT!!!! Keep yer D.I. hat on.....but under yer steel (Kevlar now?) pot.

Heh, that reminds me of the saying we coined after a trip up to RAAF Williamtown ... "Theres no better waking call than afterburners at 6am"

Royal Air _________ Force? Whats the blank?

I believe it's "Royal Australian Air Force"

Yup, if you ever need to figure out an acronym in our millitary, you could probably get it by looking at the UK's equivalant and adding another "A"
