Blending Mice and Men
An anonymous reader sends in this piece about chimeras - not the ones with a THAC0 of 11, but a more general term meaning any multi-creature hybrid. A comprehensive look at the moral and scientific issues surrounding this area of biotech.
The worse cruelty is that no female, mice nor women, would sleep with such a person/thing.
Well, I take that back. If their freekitude makes them rich, then the babes will probably come.

Funny, that's exactly what I wanted to do to that book when I had to read it for English class.
When things get complex, multiply by the complex conjugate.
The only way I see blending of mice and men is when our hands are merged with our mice when gaming 24/7 on the hot new RPGs!

..there is a pervert...or a few. Especially if the freak has a freaky sex organ...or a few. Than, again, how would I know - I'm just a humble slashdotter - nothing freaky except imagination.
Wow. A super intelligent mouse. Aren't they afraid that mouse will then get a slow-witted sidekick and try to take over the world?
First things first, they need more descriptive names. What's that mouse-like thing in the corner? A chimera. What's that pig in the pen? A chimera. And the sheep?
Pretty soon some arcane naming convention will evolve, and a college-level genetic engineering will be much like organic chemistry with its names oxy-lacto-3-alpha-nano-5-methane.

More importantly, can they run Linux?

In the future they'll have to worry about getting drunk and waking up with a real dog. Well, half.
Ruff!
sigs, as if you care.
Maybe now they can actually serve real buffalo wings at Pizza Hut.
That's funny. When I read THAC0, I thought, "where do I know that from?" Now I'm regressing. Thanks. A lot.
Well, it does beat the crap out of the mouse-brained human overlords we seem to have now!!
"Even the most retarded person you'll ever meet can speak. And the smartest animal ever, can't - and it's not due to a lack of proper physical apparatus - give an animal human vocal equipment (or an electronic version of one), and they still won't be able to speak."

Does anyone know what the best torrent to get is?
Dude. Valve put up a bunch of fake torrents at all the torrent seed sites. If you waste your time downloading it you will find out (like many of us have recently found out) that the torrents only contain garbage. But people have put up some torrents that have the real full ver of HL2 + crack only they are labelled as she-male.roughtrade.avi.torrent or some other variation on a transexual AVI porn vid. Just search for the transexual AVI porn vid that has the most seeds and the most people downloading it and that is probably the one that is really the HL2 torrent.
Reminds me of something I once read here on Slashdot -
> I hope you are also against experimenting on animals.
>I really think my dog has more self awareness
>than an embryo. So do chimps, lab rats, house flies...
No. Because they are animals.

get up to version 3.5 of D&D and then well talk about rolling d20's
back in the day we didnt have no old school
Luckily, I took "Light Infantry" as one of my Regimental Doctrines, and the scenario called for Infiltrators. So I managed to setup about 150 guardsman after the Ork player had deployed his entire army. But still, having a Chimera or two as mobile weapons platforms would've come in handy. Multi-lasers seem tailor made for killing Orcs (wounds on a two, with no save). Though things would've gone a lot better if the damn Stormtroopers had ever deployed their grav-chutes and hit the table. That looted Basilisk was just asking for melta-love.
Oh, you meant something else. Nevermind.

At this point, your chances are already higher than 0%. Next time we'll talk about what to do when contact with a girl is made for the first time.
OK, the mice I can understand, but how do you get the men in the blender?
MASTER SPLINTER! oh wait that was a rat...

I think what you're actually looking for is BAB +9, though including other modifiers it gets a to-hit bonus of +12 for the bite or gore with each head.
Step one: Agitate a mouse enough to get it to bite your hand and not let go. Step two: Stick hand in blender. Step three: Turn on blender. Step four: Duct-tape. Finito.
