  2. Wolves and Indians and razors, oh my by 0x0d0a · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If your god is an indian who turns into a wolf and is coming for me with a razor, how it s/he planning to use it? Wouldn't they lack the opposible thumb to properly utilize the razor?

    I think that the statement that he could turn into a wolf was more of an aside than a claim that he'd actually do so before whipping out his razor. Like, I can write software and out-arm-wrestle a lot of people, but it'd be really inconvenient to do both at once.

    A good analogy might be a Special Forces guy who can shoot someone at 500 meters and kill someone with his bare hands, but not at the same time.
