      - It's very effective as a rock. It sort of looks like a tiger. As a tiger deterrent, maybe if you're aim is excellent. -- nm - TWuG Aug 18, 09:18
      - Let the Bears pay the bear tax, I pay the Homer tax! (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 09:17
    - I know. Correlation vs. causation. You're banking on a spontaneous remission. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 09:08
