Goodness

Honestly I am starting to want to beat up the first person to ever spout the term "Magic Versus Technology"

Since the more I see it, the more I notice that it relies ENTIRELY on connotations that take place entirely outside the setting and otherwise makes absolutely no sense.

I totally agree. That's why I love things like Ghostbusters, and Warhammer 40k, and the Cthulhu Mythos., settigs where ghosts and zombies can be captured and studied and artificial intelligemces can be posessed by the devil.

Sorry latias, everybody already knows about krokodil.

Sigg'd

Why would you sig that?

SirQuiamus, why wouldn't you sig a post of me mentioning you by name?

Wow, he's like someone got a bunch of liberal good ideas and then blended them in incredibly carefully over a long period to discredit the left, from what I can see.

I'm listening to the Bee Gees. It's so seventies. Possibly because my image of the seventies is heavily influenced by the Bee Gees.

I was reasonably sure they aren't seventies.  For some reason.

That was quite something incredible, so surreptitiously delicious that my palette was moistened this day.

Today I learned about Rat Kings.  A Rat King happens when multiple rats get their tails stuck together, and end up a big cluster of living rats that are permanently stuck together.  Its super-rare, but happened often enough to get a name.  They end up moving together as one organism and survive as best they can(which probably isn't very well).

In addition, in Canada there was one a Squirrel king composed of 6 squirrels who's tails got stuck together from tree sap.

The first minute or so was pretty good, then it fell apart a little.
This makes me think, though: I haven't experimented with minecarts very much, but could you use one as a wheelchair and have an able-bodied dwarf pushed a crippled dwarf around? Could you use a wheelbarrow for the same thing?


Re: Rat Kings: Pratchett taught me about those. Crazy stuff.

No-sorta-yes and no. You can't use wheelbarrows to move dwarves around. Minecarts... they can, but the cripple has to move his own damn broke self onto the cart(make sure the route is set to ride, not push or guide), and he has to be the one to actually do that task - meaning he has to be able to do it.

Would be an interesting feature: Minecart route set to move when at least 50% full of specified item = cripples.

I think they're fake

"As a general rule, rat kings are viewed as cryptozoological in origin, meaning that while they could potentially be real, they are not widely accepted by most scientists and biologists.
