When Tekora and I had our fun little Avatar throw-down, I decided I really liked this one too much to not use it!

And on a less amusing note... I just locked my keys in my car and I don't have any spares. Not sure what I'm going to do about it... Guess I'll have to call a locksmith or something... and shell out who knows how much money I don't have to spend at the moment. sad.gif

Why is Rigormortis an affliction? That makes no sense. Rigor mortis ONLY occurs after death.

I wasn't able to. sad.gif

But I still got my keys out! I wrapped a wire hanger around the end of my mop and squeezed through the broken side window on the van - which opens about 8 inches and after a few trys (like for a good 20 minutes! It was harder than I'd thought it was going to be! laugh.gif ) managed to hook the keys and pull them out of the ignition. I almost dropped them off the hanger and onto the floorboard of the passanger side front seat, and boy that would have blown, but I didn't and now I have them! cheer.gif

It's funny, the guy who sold me the van had, instead of getting the window fixed, had the door it's in jerry-rigged so that you can't open it or manually unlock it from the inside, you have to use the button on the keyring. Which is why, despite the fact I was able to squeeze the top half of my body into my vehicle, I was still unable to get the door open! laugh.gif

Why are there undead viscanti running around? Sheesh, they must have Rigormortis 24/7!

Psh. Simple explanation. Magic.
Slightly less simple explanation, something to do with the Taint.
I mean, I can argue about the Taint or magic hindering the effects of death and whatnot, but not for rigor mortis as an affliction.

Perhaps I should be more specific. I just don't like the name rigor mortis as an affliction for living people. Might make sense for it as an affliction for undead, but does this mean that whenever you are afflicted with rigor mortis, you die and come back to life? And there is no way I can use magic as an explanation for this. Perhaps someone can.

The biochemical cause of rigor mortis is hydrolysis of ATP in the muscle tissue, the chemical energy source required for movement. Myosin molecules devoid of ATP become permanently adherent to actin filaments to form actomyosin complex, causing muscles to become rigid. After the pH of the muscle has become 5.5, release of autolytic enzymes stored in lysosomes will take place. The major proteolytic enzymes are Cathepsins and Calpains. These enzymes act at the myofibrillar proteins and hydrolyse them. As a result, the actomyosin complex is broken down and muscles become "soft" again. This is known as resolution of rigor.


Magic causes that. There, simple. tongue.gif It really isn't a "death only" situation. Its just a chemical state in the muscles of the body, which really isn't so hard to believe in an affliction. And it also makes sense for Basin scholars to refer to it as rigor mortis even in the living, given that it would be identical to that which occurs in the dead.

Try me locking my keys in the car at my buddy's house the last time it actually managed to run. It was late, we'd been playing video games and stuff, and I'd stayed over two nights, so I wasn't in the best look or shape. Me: in bondage pants and a ripped shirt with bright blue hair, my buddy:a skinny hispanic kid in old jeans and a torn shirt, and another friend: looking perpetually stoned all the time...with a clotheshanger and a screwdriver, trying to get into an old white cadillac at 3 am...

It took me two hours to convince the cops it was -my- car and we weren't trying to steal anything. tongue.gif

I wish I could bring myself to care about the Superbowl this year. It's so much more fun if it matters.

Damn you Ravens! Good job stopping them getting touchdowns. Now stop the censor.gif ing field goals, morons!
