kumquatq3 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10266534/index.html Tracks found in Scotland look to be from an ancient water scorpion as big as a kitchen table. If the analysis is right, it is the first evidence of the creature coming ashore. The scorpion, a six-legged thing called Hibbertopterus, was about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. It is long since extinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 So much information, just from some tracks. It looks utterly gormless. I think I may know someone who's a direct descendant.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 With a spear... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont own a spear. I was thinking of a Claymore need something with some reach and some leverage. Wouldnt really want to kill it though although I doubt it would share the sentiment. I have to agree with Volourn.

kumquatq3 Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Well, we could give Volourn a spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure79 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 So the question is who would win? A giant scorpion or a chimp? And who would go on to fight kumquat? Will spectators feast upon the flesh of the fallen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 So the question is who would win? A giant scorpion or a chimp? Would this be a spear-holding or non spear-holding chimp? Plus there's the nature of the audience to consider. Home crowd always gives an advantage. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
