It was a .22 long (they make .22 air rifles that are almost twice as powerful). Almost surprising he could kill anything with that. He would have had a better chance at a quick death by shooting himself in the heart.
Funny you mention it—must be ant season here. After reading this thread last night I went downstairs to find a stream of ants cleaning up in the kitchen... we never have ants.
While it is toxic, it won't poison you (as long as you're not drinking what you've saved up over the years by the gallon). In fact, it has saved lives (people who would have otherwise dehydrated to death). But it has no medicinal value for the same reason that it won't poison you—it was already in your body! It's just toxins your body is trying to get rid of (for a reason). Refusing to pee in the first place would do the same trick (a full bladder keeps future urine circulating through the bloodstream), while bypassing the bad taste.
Airforce? Only if your plane gets shot down during a war (who wants to hurt Australia?) and you are forced to use your sidearm from the parachute—but then it's probably still going to be your blood, anyway! I don't think you have anything to worry about. :nol2:
Interesting. I was under the impression that soldiers (ancient?) actually peed on their wounds in the battlefield to cleanse (disinfect?) them (if they lacked anything better to use). No idea where I heard that, actually...
I've actually done that (roamed the streets at night looking for baby bunnies to kill) successfully. The people you interact with on international forums...
I have pictures of the aftermath, but I'd get banned for posting them.
Funny thing is, your hands will be more sterile if you wash your hands with your pee (instead of touching a faucet to wash your hands with water) ...but who cares about microbiota.
But seriously, people tend to forget that pee is sterile. Notwithstanding, I suppose they're more concerned with people having touched their STD-infected noodlers.
Shutting your ears to anything you don't like is really mature, too—and telling us you're ignoring him because he upset your misled ears is just advertising a willful ignorance.
In Luke's defence, he was inarguably correct. BFBC, essentially, is a depiction of dying and suffering (no one said that was a good thing).
