archermoo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick But while chocolate isn't really good for dogs or any number of other animals, it isn't like it is poisonous. I've known any number of dogs that have gotten ahold of some chocolate and eaten it, and none of them have ever had any problems from it.

It's really, really hard to have enough ethanol to kill you; it takes some serious drinking of spirits, and even then, you ahve to be a hardened drinker before you'll be conscious enough to finish it off. With chocolate, it varies by type, but if a dog ate a whole block of dark chocolate, it'd probably be in trouble. And as the article points out, they develop a taste for it, so go hunting more. It's not extremely poisonous, but too much WILL kill, so it's best to not leave any out, or sneak them chocolate snacks (or even chocolate-tasting stuff), even if only for the discipline.

Doug Limmer Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Re: Order of the Stick Is that an acid breathing shark?Yes. Yes, it is. To correct a previous poster, the "acidborn monster" template, with an example of a large acidborn shark, is from Dungeonscape, written by two fellows named Jason Bulmahn and Rich Burlew. Unless there's a second acid breathing shark in MMV... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
