When I first started playing ...
Killed a male human ...
Took his leg ...
And when the guard chased me ...

I simply threw the leg at him!!!   :D The funniest part of that is, although people have thrown human legs and body parts - it was funny because it killed him.

I threw a demon corpse at some random goblin. Unfortunately, my adventurer was one-eyed (having lost the other one in combat), so it missed.

Then I encountered a goblin hammer lord. I snuck up on him and started to throw bolts at him. One of them hit, crippling his right leg and making him fall down. I attacked him with my axe, thinking I had him beaten. Two turns later, I found myself adorning a wall.

Sadly enough, because goblins [ABUSE_BODIES] you probably were decorating a spike.

There are of course the usual sand, vomit and live beetles, but none of those strike me as especially epic. The most epic thing I've thrown was a lead block.

Yeah. A lead block. I started with it because it happened to be at hand when I was attacked by a kobold in an abandoned fort, and it blasted the thing into the corner and sent limbs flying every which way. Needless to say, I took it with me.

Unfortunately, I could hardly move with the thing, and was mobbed by skeletal camels as soon as I stepped out the front entrance. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

Body parts are fun, yeah.  I prefer heads, hands, and whole corpses.  Had a giant's corpse once, made a pretty decent weapon.
Had a pretty good obsidian throwing sword once; chopped a lion in half with one go.  Threw a door at someone once.

Have to say though, I think my favorite one so far is sand.  Just the idea of throwing sand so hard that it hits like a shotgun blast is awesome.

I'd have to go with Ebe Etruebe's head.  Not because there was anything special about it, but just from the context of the throw.  I had a backpack full of heads that I'd collected from crushing an enemy city or two, and then I found an Axe Lord.  I started pelting him with the heads of his citizens, but he blocked or dodged most of them, getting only a few bruises and a sprained knee.  Finally, he cornered me at one end of his keep.  I had only one head left in my pack.

code:
The spinning Ebe Etruebe's head strikes The Human Axe Lord in the head!
It is battered!
The Human Axe Lord has been knocked unconscious!
The Human Axe Lord's nose has been badly bruised!
The Human Axe Lord's brain has been bruised!
The Human Axe Lord falls over.  

Needless to say, I promptly strangled him to death.

I once threw the High Priest's corpse at another priest. It shattered his skull and broke his brain.

I looted four stacks of adamantine bolts from an abandoned fortress. Since I can't bear to fire them due to their value, I throw them instead. They kill almost everything in one hit.

I threw a lump of clay at a wolf once.  This innocuous chunk of dirt managed to 'splode his lower body in a shower of gore.  I also threw one of the wolves' severed head, but I don't really think that did anything.

The spinning Iron spear strikes The Guard in the head!
It is pierced through entirely!
The Iron spear has lodged firmly in the wound!
Athrab Rushantawki, Guard has been shot and killed.

The epic thing about this was it was a throwaway shot, the only unused spear I had in my backpack and I hurled it at a guard I could see on the edge of my vision, in spite of several others closer/fighting with me. He was absolutely miles away as well.

Not really contributing to the thread, but when I think about DF's throwing damage, I think something about like this:

Vinlandsaga?  What is it with the Japanese/Korean fascination with Norse myth? 

I remember being rather mightily ticked off with the release of Ragnarok Online, because I knew they weren't going to portray it in a way that might be considered...  Well, Norse.

Oh come now.  Everyone knows the Norse sagas were full of blowing up little jelly blobs and caterpillars.  And exploring sewers.

On the plus side, I think they did stick Fenrir in at some point.

Sorry for pushing this thread even further off-topic, by the way.
