Things with Weird Weights, or, That's One Fat Flea! 02/05/2004 09:23 PM CST
Not sure if this is the right place to post about this or not... but there are still some items (many, I'm sure) that have unrealistic weights. Hopefully something can be done about it.

Case in point: A dead flea.




>get flea
>
You get a dead flea from inside your arm pouch.
>put flea on counter
You put your dead flea on the counter.

Naissura puts the dead flea on the small balance scale and adds small stones one by one until the beam becomes exactly level.

Naissura squints at the balance beam needle and says, "The flea weighs about five stones," and puts the flea on the counter.

You pay Naissura and take your flea off the counter.




Five stoneweight for one flea? Man, that's a fat flea! Compare that weight to an embroidery pattern at 2 stones and a dead mouse at 10 stones (both of which I think are on the heavy side as well).

Heh... Which is scarier, the half-pound flea, or the one-pound mouse?

Mice don't suck 10x their weight in blood.

I would be more afraid of the dog that that flea came from.

That's why the flea is dead.

I can't fire them. I hired these guys for three days a week and they just started showing up every day. That was four years ago

Heck no, that would ruin my destruction of the guild. I'll be aiming for the trash that everyone throws out.
