Would a basilisk be a good pet for people who enjoy getting stoned?



*ok, ok, I'm going!*



Did you know that a cock can kill a basilisk?

Isn't that cos a basilisk was originally a mutant monster cockerel?

Correct! Educational stuff on here tonight :D

It was hatched by a monster cockerel and the crow of the cock can kill it.

There is a similar beastie which came out of a cockerel's egg and was hatched by a serpent. Can't remember what it was called though.

Those ancient Greeks must have been smoking some strong stuff!!

She asked your opinion - so give it to her! And I'd include:

1. A mare with kissing spines can suffer just being covered by a stallion - without carrying a foal for 11 months.

2. To cover ANY mare without having swabs done and a breeding soundness examination is irresponsible and will risk the health (and life) of her mare - AND the health of her stallion. For example, one mare who came to us had bred previously - by AI. When we covered her she stood beautifully, until the stallion thrust for the first time. She went skywards - and then down on the floor writhing in agony! Subsequent examination revealed she had an abnormally short vagina - the stallion had battered her cervix causing serious brusing - luckily he didn't rupture her!

3. Has her stallion ever covered a mare? And has she ever taught a young stallion to cover? Covering injuries are NOT covered by most horse insurance policies - because it is actually more dangerous than 3 day eventing (for mare, stallion AND handlers!) When stallion, mare AND handlers are inexperienced, it's close to suicidal!

4. Has she considered that MANY stallions - when used as studs - become VERY difficult and even dangerous to ride in company?

I could go on withy another 100 points - but that should do for starters!:rolleyes:

That ^

"Muppets", the classic childrens' program http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ , Oh, to star in that little money making scheme
I wonder how TFC explains his current employment on his c.v. when he applies for a proper job.

I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed that I have now given this thread new life and sent it off in yet another direction.

** shakes head and wonders off with a big bird springy step:p **

The most famous one was a "Bobbitt", when a lady in US of A got a bit excessive with the kitchen knife.

It wasn't a kitchen knife it was poultry shears. And then some bright spark had an idea for re-branding . . .
