That's going to be quite a search... How did you think I know so much about polishing bones, huh? I work out very out

Well, then you wouldn't want your polish scratched, would you?

You better believe that, sister. I'd be very cross with you, and you would definately find that out

But I'd already have scratched it. The damage would be done. And you wouldn't believe how vicious I can be--just ask the guys who tried to clip my claws today.

*a messy heap of bones appear out of thin air, they rise and form a complete and unharmed skeleton, bones rattle in greeting*

You see, nothing much happened when I was smitten. The result of scratching me wouldn't be much different

I never clip anyone's claws, unless it's necessary for their own health. The ones who tried to do that to you, deserved a smiting.

*bones rattle in greeting, the skeleton collapses in a messy heap, which vanishes into thin air*

Oh, I smote them all right. They got kicked, scratched, and very nearly bitten, and my nails came out almost completely unscathed. It took them ten minutes to get just the tip of one nail clipped, and a few seconds later I broke free of the guy who was pinning my entire upper body while wielding the clippers, and the guy who was holding my feet gave up at that point.

Are you related to my cat?

Well, I am a little bit feline, I guess, but mostly lupine. Does your cat like to howl at the moon?

No, but it likes waking me uop so I can howl at the cat.

Smart kitty--gets others to do its work for it.

Look. You've just been called a clever kitty.

By a wolf.

Lucky you.

Oh wow--how did you do that? I thought you couldn't do things like that in forum posts.

I'm sorry, but I have to fess up: *I* was the one who first discovered that HTML-tags in the subject of a message *do* take effect. So, in fact it is possible to put piccies in the subject, or to alter the font-size of subjects and messages alike, to link the subject to a completely different page, or whatever else TAG can do.

By monday 9:01 AM (GMT) the guys at TDV will however recieve some messages that this capability is becoming a menace, and they *will* bring it to a halt. Somebody already incorporated a midi-tune in DNA's page through the forum there, but he has now removed the midi-file from the server, because it became annoying within the hour.
Some people even put up VERY large pictures, which will most certainly throw off your screen, if you come across them.

Most people have already agreed to stop using it, but alas, a few just don't seem to care, or haven't read it yet. I've unleashed an uncontrollable horror.

It was fun while it lasted, though...

yup, it was. Until some people started overdoing it, that is
