Let's see... I've dissected a worm, frog, squid, squirrel, deer. My girlfriend who was in biomedical science and is in optometry school now dissected a live rabbit (they give it anesthesia and then put it to sleep when the lab is finished) and now she is dissecting a cadaver for her anatomy lab. Her professor has been in the lab too long because they all talk about how if he comes to the table he'll start digging around in the cadaver and start sloshing dead person juice everywhere. He splashes people with it he gets so into things. My gf got hit in the face with dead person juice... ewwwww.... She said all the cadavers are really fat people and they have to take all the fat out to get to what they need to see. Bleck...

As of when I started writing this no one had mentioned most of these which amazes me... Monica Bellucci... she is amazingly beautiful Faith Hill Shania Twain Raquel Welch in her prime Ursula Andress in her prime Jessica Alba Kate Beckinsale

I really don't get this. Stuff like fletching/woodcutting is so much easier to level and a lot more profit to be made. Smithing/mining are like 10 times harder to level and you don't make much of a profit at all ye they hit mining with the nerf bat. Woodcutting is just click and forget. Mining is crazy competition for rocks and you click every single time. Why hurt mining even more?

Super Mario Brothers on the NES when I was 7 or 8.

I beat Civ II on Deity mode multiple times... It's all about getting a good start. Great game by the way.

Would I ever get a tattoo? HECK NO! The only possible way I would ever even consider it is if I was in special forces with the military. 1. I don't like needles. 2. When you get in the corporate world suddenly it isn't so cool and you have to hide it or risk losing business. 3. When you get old that design that looked cool on a 20 year old pumped arm begins to look all wrinkled, saggy, faded and just all around weird. 4. If you get tired of it you have to shell out several thousand bucks for removal. 5. Finally why would I want it in the first place? I seriously just don't get it. I don't feel like I need to label myself a certain way or show the world something so they know who I am. My personality does a good enough job of that. A tattoo is for life and they just don't look good on older people. The only people I think tattoos just look awesome on are the big Samoan islander guys that do the war chants and wear grass skirts. Now thats cool!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES. I killed Shredder once but couldn't kill Krang to beat it. Ghengis Khan on the Genesis. Took ages to play and you couldn't save. I united Mongolia, sent my Mongol Horde across Asia and made it to Europe... Then my mom vacuumed the room, turned off the Genesis and thus ended my hopes of world conquest.

Found another one today. Penda in the bar in Burthorpe says "The White Knights are taking over!" If you talk to him again he says "Are we safe?" Or something like that if I didn't get it word for word.

Might want to add to the right of 34 is where Black Masks are sold. I had to buy one today and searched for a while before I found it.

I agree. I would need to double check the actual numbers but I agree too much money is spent on people sentenced to death. This could be corrected. There are many ways to accomplish this without increasing the risk an innocent person would slip through the cracks. You said: Reality and statistics say this: "The swift and certain application of the death penalty throughout the early years of the century brought murder into a steady decline. The peak in homicides occurred in the 1930s--generally associated with Prohibition. Executions also peaked across the country in 1935 at 200 (roughly four per state). After that point, the murder rate dropped steadily. As homicides fell, the number of executions followed them down. By the early 1960s, capital punishment was applied only in a few well-publicized cases. Still, the concept of "going to the chair" was fixed clearly in everyone's mind. By 1963, the murder rate was triumphantly low. Then a fatal miscalculation occurred. Convinced that the problem of felony murder had been solved forever and that it was now "barbaric" to continue executions, liberals mounted a campaign to abolish capital punishment. By 1966 there was a de facto moratorium in nearly all states, and in 1971 the Supreme Court overturned all existing death-penalty laws. But at zero executions, the predictable happened. Beginning in 1966, the rate of murder skyrocketed, soaring by 1980 to more than double the 1963 rate. Moreover, this was not just a broad, general rise in murder. "Crimes of passion" stayed virtually the same. Almost the entire increase was the result of an explosion of felony murder. http://www.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-death051601.shtml As to my point about the death penalty saving innocent people's lives here are some statistics. "As Prof. Paul G. Cassell pointed out in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in 1993: "Of the roughly 52,000 state prison inmates serving time for murder in 1984, an estimated 810 had previously been convicted of murder and had killed 821 persons following those convictions. Executing each of these inmates following their initial murder conviction would have saved 821 innocent lives." So say they imprison Saddam in Iraq. Then in 10 years all troops are gone from Iraq and the new Iraqi government is toppled. Saddam gets released and takes power back. How many people is he going to kill? I watched a show profiling Saddam tonight and he was averaging 100,000 murders a year of his own population when he was in office. Now imagine how many he would kill if he had actually been overthrown and regained power? It would be a bloodbath. All of this is now prevented because he and his sons are dead. It isn't about some kind of macho blood lust. It is about paying the penalty for the crime committed, preventing future violence, and protecting what would have been future victims.

There seems to be a lot of this type sentiment on this thread. Death penalty is all about fairness. Is it fair for people to have to pay taxes to support mass murderers for the rest of their life in jail? Is it fair to the victim and society when a convicted murderer(who would have been executed 50 years ago) is released on parole and goes out and kills another person? The death penalty isn't just about justice.... It is about prevention as well. How many innocent deaths could be prevented each year if we executed convicted murderers instead of releasing them on parole? How many millions and possibly billions of tax dollars would law abiding citizens be able to retain if they weren't having to completely support tens of thousands of murderers in jail? How many potential murderers would think twice before killing someone because they knew they were automatically dead if they did? How many future victims would be saved because of this? Is it fair to deny law abiding citizens this protection? Is it fair to forcibly take law abiding citizen's money to support killers? Why is it the word "fair" is only used to support people that forfeited their life when they unfairly slaughtered an innocent person? Whether you disagree with the death penalty or not, we should all agree the world is a better place when men like Saddam are dead.

I just did my weekly trip to Juna and this week I happened to tell her the story how I did all the crazy puzzles and became a member of the White Knights. Now here is the odd part. Instead of saying your stories have entertained me as normal she said "Beware of the Knights for their motives are not as they appear." Then she said Your stories have entertained me after she warned me. Anyone else had this happen or noticed some kind of plot twist in terms of the Knights? I wonder why she would be warning me. I wonder if it is because she represents Guthix and they don't or if it is something deeper and darker...

I have been wanting to try out the blast furnace for a long time now. If someone wants a partner shoot me a message in game(Ambassadar) and I will give it a go.

Interesting guide. I will try out your gold mining techniques. I've been on extended break from mining/smithing because I burned out hardcore on them. This sounds like it might be a good change of pace. I enjoyed the guide. Yeah it was long but most of it was enlightening. I might cut out the part about secondary skills(like the rune crafting part) since that is sorta straying from your topic but other than that good stuff.

So far I have gotten iron ore, steel bars, steel knives, steel dart, and toy mice from the accumulator. I feel pretty sure you just get a random chance of getting stuff they have on their accumulation list when you wear it. Some things like arrows are higher odds to get when compared to steel bars. At least this is my impression of it so far.

Another huge thing that separates it is that if I want I can log in for five minutes and do something productive. I remember when I played EQ sometimes I would have to wait an hour just to get a group up before I made any experience at all. RS also does an amazing job with it's non combat skills. Of the MMORPG's I have played it has by far the widest array of things for people to do aside from combat. When I played Wow I was a miner/blacksmith. That is all I could do and it is a royal pain gathering materials to smith in that game so you can't really do it full time. It is more something you do on the side while you train combat. Finally it has the hardest longest most time consuming leveling treadmill I have ever seen. People want to be the best and their competitive nature kicks in while trying to do so. That may be the biggest reason everyone gets hooked on RS.

Long term runes all the way for making money. Things to train on I'll leave that to someone else. Fastest range exp? Cannon Fastest way to level Herblore? Get a lot of money and buy all your ingrediants in bulk and make pots. You can buy vials with water already in them in Ardough. That saves time. When you make the pots get 12 herbs and 12 vials in your inventory. Then use the method in the fletching player made guide in the archives of wisdom to combine them super fast. Then do your secondary ingredients the same way.

I just did mine during the quest. I brought the materials to the troll and each harp I made I dropped on the ground and made the next one until I was done and picked them all up off the ground then.

I raise mine every day. I have about ten of those harps that transport you so I rarely have to recharge them which is what makes this possible.

Ok... this costs no money to make yet it is a pain in the butt to get in quantity. Cooked Stuffed Snakes. Plus as a bonus if you ever get tired of your collection you can eat it and they heal for 20 each which is the same as sharks.

When I was really little we had this console that only played pong and squash that you could hook up to the tv. When I got in elementary school Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt/Track and Field combo since we got the powerpad option on the NES. First computer game I bought was the first Warcraft.
