There's this game I play (its precise name is both unimportant and off-topic) and I've been getting really unlucky. Losing alot, you know? So after some thought I deduced killing something will likely change my karma for the better.

What should I torture/kill?

Kill yourself.

Unless there's a catch I'm missing, I would no longer possess any luck, which is even less than very little luck.

Suggestion duly noted, nowever.

You can throw a cat off an building and it won't die. This should be fun for you and you don't have to kill anything.

i believe it depends how high up you are, there is a range of like 3-6 stories or something where they will die

throwing them off sufficiently high won't kill them because their muscles begin to relax and as their limbs spread out they encounter more air resistance and slow down

according to my sources

I think nothing should die.
Instead hit your kid.

They will break their legs at certain heights.

You are welcome to experiment.

Wait... Does this mean that you can toss cats from 3 or 2 stories up, as well as 7 stories and greater, but you can't from 3 to 6??? That's wack.

This is pretty accurate. Cats reach terminal velocity somewhere around the 5th or 6th story. Until the point at which they hit terminal velocity, their muscles are tensed for landing. After reaching terminal velocity, they relax and, as you said, spread out their legs. This doesn't slow them down, but it spreads the impact out so that they are less likely to be injured.

I prefer dropping cats from about a foot and a half off the ground, upside-down. It is pretty fun to see how low you can go before they can't right themselves anymore. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

wak indeed, i don't know the exact numbers but yes a cat will survive a 20 story fall can die from a shorter fall

OH, also, they are still likely to survive a fall from any height. Just more broken bones in the range immediately before they reach terminal velocity.

So, if I throw a cat out of an airplane, the cat probably wouldn't die? If this is true then my life is about to drastically change for the better

to the best of my knowledge this is correct, assuming it's at a reasonable altitude and hence reasonable air pressure

Lol, drama queen. I saw you're post in the general forum, where you basically complain about being up $6700 this year. If you don't rely on poker to support yourself then you should be able to handle a downswing with no problem, if you do this for a living well then you aren't handling this very proffesionally.

Ok, that wasn't funny. Actually I've lost like 200BB since that general post, and will be taking a break from poker and 2+2 for a while. So I am effectively killing my 2+2 incarnation for now, but I love all you guys and will be back someday.

Ciao.

Edited to add: but I'm going to feed strychnine to my neighbor's dog just to spite you fuckers. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

According to veterinarians, after a couple of stories they're as vulnerable as you or me.

Not that you'd necessarily know. If they break things, they just slink away quietly, and it's not like they could tell you in words.

OOT is fuked up lately. I think more people need to win at poker or something, because every other post seems to be about hating someone or fighting them and now killing stuff. Too high a percentage of sick fuks.

Is that one of those face-eating camel spiders?

I don't know what it is but I want it to be about a micron thick. It's copied from that spider thread from awhile back.

I might have missed the latest one; I can remember one but I don't remember that picture. Gotta be a camel spider, then. One of the creepiest things on earth.
