I'm confused by the measurements in this entry. They can grow up to a unanit in length, fine. If you take the Earth conversion (based on comments in Talk:Chesix System Of Measures, then 20 nanits of mouth-opening length is roughly 6.5 feet, compared to the Mutes largest body length of 10.5 feet. I'm having conceptual problems envisioning this (the closest I can come up with is a python chomping down on a deer, but even that would be a mouth of 3 feet tops). Or, I am just trying to apply too much Earth knowledge to this? Is there a visual equivalent (either realisitically or fantastically)? --Morbus Iff 12:08, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)
Think of an Aligator head on a tiger's body with three legs (two front and 1 back) without a tail. I was trying to figure out how wide a mouth like that could open and figured that it could get it's mouth completely around a large aelfant's leg. The measurment conversions still get me. If you think it is too big then I'll scale it down some. --Dr. H. L. Ackroyd 16:06, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)

Dibbbers!

You dibbed four minutes early! You must be penalized. Your penalty, which is randomly
made up each turn based on whatever drunken concept of "integration" I can think of in
two minutes: choose one scholar, besides yourself, who played last turn. That scholar
will write one sentence for you, and you must use that sentence in your entry,
somewhere. Cop-outs ("and the mystic and mysterious message of EGGPLANT was scrawled
on his foot") are frowned upon. Fun!
