@ Lemming: It’s alright: neither was he.

Seriously. In the UK we have a thing: if a famous historical figure lived somewhere, we put up a little blue plaque on the house saying so.

I was born in Guildford. There is a very nice old Victorian house, with a little blue plaque saying “here lived Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, writer”

If i had a penny for every time one said “Who?” I’d …very nearly have enough for a -half-pint of shandy. Provided we were in wetherspoons. You’d think the bronze statue in the park near by of a little girl walking though a looking glass would be a clue…

@ Areetsasaurus: depends on what you mean by “Stomach.” I know the Para’s are trained to go up thought the diaphragm if their opponent is facing them (and just saw at the throat if he’s not: although it was British commandos in WW2 who invented the “hand over the mouth, fairbairn-sykes to the chest” move beloved of boys war comics, but it’s hard to do right and post WW2 the British army realised there is almost never a silent kill with a knife, only a quieter one, hence the instruction to just go for the windpipe and saw until the noises stop.) so if you class the entire region immediately below the sternum as “stomach” then I guess so. I’m not sure how US forces are trained to approach the matter, but as their training is based on SAS training, and the US Army rangers were suitably enamoured with the fairbairn-sykes fighting knife introduced to them by Royal-marine commando in WW2 to put the image of it on their official memorial, I’d guess they take the same like as British forces.

I dunno, the carotid Artery is in the same place in mammals, marsupials included, and nearly every mammal has a pulse behind the ear. I don’t think Wombats have a pulse at the wrist, but then again no-one really uses the wrist pulse anymore, outside of actors playing pre 1950’s doctors. Then again perhaps It’s just the doctors I happen to get.

Speak for yourself. Wait till you get to the ugly Egyptian dwarf god of fertility that gives women erotic dreams. To heck with Re and Osiris, Horus, Isis and even the Aten: give me the weird ugly Egyptian gods any day of the week!

“Now, I have bashed very few people over the head, and most of them in the last few weeks…”

Yep, because everything can go weird and permanently weird up your life in a week or so. way of the world

@NigaiAmai Yume: and the rest of you…why did you have to bring up the Dark Crystal? that’s only slightly bellow Animals of Farthing Wood, Watership Down and the air-vent scene in Secret of NIMH in the ranking of stuff from my childhood that still wakes my up in the dark of the night.

… Stir-fry? I mean, heart’s pretty tasty. I’d not know about either gods or spoilercoughspoilerhyena
; predators tent to taste lousy, but beef and pork heart is good and reindeer hearth is delicious, especially as jerky for a hike or long day on a dig.

…what?
