BTW there is a rumor -- not confirmed -- that the golden horn of destiny was originally crafted by none other than the Wise Warthog, who then turned it over to the cyclops for safeguarding.

I like that people find PF a good forum for things other than physics.

Here's another one that lists PF as the second best help site for mathematics:

Maybe people won't pick a small fish if we ask them what their favorite gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate [1] is.

Oh, I don't know. Salmon.

Edit, I probably should have read the article first. Oh well, too late to take it back. Uh, very very small salmon.

It seems to me that the best tactic would be to specify something like a marlin. I’d like to see someone pick up one of those to slap you around the head with it. Or is the use of heavy lifting equipment allowed?

We do have the necessary heavy equipment, we've had requests for whole tuna before. Unfortunately, the member was never seen again.
