    No, no, you got it all wrong. The most humane way to kill a seal is to hit it on the head with either a meat-hammer or club. The shock breaks its neck (or it sends a shard of the skull-plate into the brain), makes it unconscious, and leaves it open to decide how you want to obtain its blood. Of course, it only works correctly if you have the upper body strength to use a seal as a cup.

    The polar bear variant of the crocodile death roll also works well. You need claws for that though.

    The "death roll" is one of the coolest natural attacks availible. I favor Rikki-Tikki-Tavi's "bite-down-and-don't-let-go-'till-they're-dead" attack. And the cool dance he does.

    That stinks...It was a mongoose when I wrote the link up. I guess there's an encryption that prevents people from linking directly to their images.

    Oh, sure. When I wanted to link an image to the crocodile death roll, I gotthis instead. I guess it was too long between my search and my posting, and the poor crocodile changed :p

    <i>eeh... I think I'll just blow up tomorrow. </i> Bunny, the mental image you gave me was great, thanks for that. It was like a nice little orgasm without the sticky, seal juicy mess to clean up.

    All right, I know this is the ultimate gravedigging, but at least I didn't start a new thread or something.
    I'm absolutely bored, since my copy of Arcanum won't work. Not the old that didn't work, the new that doesn't work. So I was browsing the net and found this:
    "Go to http://www.wikipedia.com and type in your birthday (no year); list 3 events, 2 births, and 1 death."

    Here are mine: for June 8th

    Events
    * 1949 - Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell is published.
    * 1953 - The United States Supreme Court rules that Washington, D.C. restaurants could not refuse to serve black patrons.
    * 2004 - Major Wikipedia database crash.

    Births
    * 1810 - Robert Schumann, German composer (d. 1856)
    * 1940 - Nancy Sinatra, American singer

    Death
    * 1376 - Edward, the Black Prince, son of Edward III of England (b. 1330)

    No, no, no, you have to choose three events, two births and one death.

    By the way, there's poor Elizabeth Báthory :cry:

    Sorry, I was in a hurry to go to vote.


    Events:

    1620 - Elizabeth Báthory's crimes are uncovered.
    1948 - Cardinal Mindszenty is arrested in Hungary and accused of treason and conspiracy.
    2004 - An earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter magnitude scale creates a tsunami causing devastation in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, The Maldives and many other areas around the rim of the Indian Ocean, killing more than 300,000.


    Births:

    1780 - Mary Fairfax Somerville, British mathematician (d. 1872)
    1791 - Charles Babbage, English mathematician and inventor (d. 1871)
    1986 - Sándor Orosz, a famous Hungarian programmer and mathematician whose genius is a true gift to the world. He will redeem the world, abolish poverty, especially in Africa, crush the government of China and U.S.A., unite all the countries of Earth, and make big steps towards the realization of the prosperousity of all human beings. Or will make bloody video games. Open source, of course. (d. 2006, est.)


    Deaths:

    2004 - An earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter magnitude scale creates a tsunami causing devastation in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, The Maldives and many other areas around the rim of the Indian Ocean, killing more than 300,000.

    It worths another mention. It could have been avoided easily.
