    The whole surgery option is moot, anyway. The horsemen are born in pairs. So if Caity is birthing the 3rd, she also has to birth the 4th.

    I'm volunteering to assist with the creation of one or both! :D

    There will be no Horsemen of the Apocalypse coming from me, damnit! I just meant there'll be a new review soon! Sheesh...

    Having said which, I'm all for the option of a horseman being implanted into Arthgon for the sheer chuckle factor.

    But Horsemen born by surgical implantation are inferior quality, and thus to be avoided.

    Does the quality matter if they destroy the world? I mean, it's not as if anyone will be alive to judge whenever it was a good Armageddon or not.

    Horsemen of inferior quality are incapable of destroying the world.

    When it all falls down and the world starts burning because China became the primary economic power (and it fucking will, I'm warning you), I just want it to be known that I FUCKING CALLED IT.

    The new four horsemen are Politics, Economics, Counter-Terrorism and Stupidity. I don't particularly feel like being responsible for any of them.

    I would include Political Correctness and its ally Islamism to that list.

    They're amongst the Lesser Horsemen, along with Panic and Militant Vegitarianism.

    Militant vegitarianism? Whoa, that's some crazy shit. Most vegans I ever met were also pacifists.

    There is an ad on Australian TV right now that basically says 'meat, the breeding, transporting and preparation thereof is a bigger threat to the climate than the millions of pollutant-spewing factories and the only way to save the planet is to BECOME VEGETARIAN! Don't eat meat, you'll kill the planet!'

    I am not making this shit up.

    Well, that's actually not far from the truth, the production of meat does make up a great deal of the worlds CO2 and Methane emissions.

    That's still no reason to tell people 'if you're not a vegetarian, you're killing the planet!' We eat meat for a fucking reason - because we are DESIGNED to eat meat, and because a great many of us would die from anemia if we didn't.

    Well that's true. But IF we were to stop eating meat, we'd lower emissions quite severely.

    There is also the isse of the growing world population.

    Slash population to save the earth.

    Shamelessly stolen from the Codex.

    Says the guy who eats nothing but meat.

    1 cow produced the same carbon and methane emissions as 10 sport cars.
