Subject: Fourteen lessons I've learned from WoW
1. All animals can breathe underwater.

2. It is possible to shoot bullets or arrows through huge trees, rocks and
even small hills without changing their trajectory or even slowing them
down.

3. It is impossible to eat or drink while standing up.

3. If you have something that's basically crap and want to sell it, you can
sell it to anyone, but if you have something good that you've used, you can
only sell it to a shopkeeper.

4. Banks store your items, not your money; and they use teleporters so you
can instantly access your stuff from any bank in the world.

5. If you drink a magic potion that heals you or gives you some special
ability, you won't feel thirsty again for 2 minutes.

6. All (human) women are totally hot, and all (human) men look like they
spend about six hours a day working out.

7. Don't walk, always run.  You'll get there faster.  Even if you're only
going two steps away.

8. You can not only send mail from mailboxes, you can receive mail from them
as well.

9. If he's had enough experience, a 35-lb naked and weaponless midget can
totally whip ass on a guy who's seven and a half feet tall, 275 lbs of solid
muscle, wearing full battle armor and wielding a battle axe in each hand.

10.  An entire gold bar costs only a few small pieces of gold.

11. If an animal attacks you, it will hit you, then stand there looking at
you for about a second, then hit you again, and repeat until either you or
the animal is dead.

12. Ghosts can walk on water, but they can't go through rocks or trees.

13.  It is possible to get temporarily stuck on a door frame, fence post,
tree, rock or other such object.

14. Death is only temporary, but it's hard on your armor.

I thought it was entertaining, but that's just me.

I guess, if I was super-cool like you, I'd say it was mediocre at best.

Hollywood has made this fact known to us for decades.

Will you excuse me for a moment while I call my bank, I have some urgent
business to take care of. Anyone know the phone number to Fort Knox?


Good list, m8 :)

This is just a guess, but I'll bet you're one of those people who pays some
Chinese guy to level his character to 60, then uses that level 60 to go
around killing opposite-faction players who are twenty or more levels below
you.

19. Apparently, Griffons only poop when they're on the ground.
20. A vial will immediately disappear when its contents are consumed.
Thankfully, the timing is impeccable as I never spill a drop.
21. Equipped with a Hammer and Anvil, Blacksmiths can fix a hole in
your silk underpants.
22. There exists an unwritten law stating that no man shall break a
door down or bash open a chest.  To do so would be primitive and
unsophisticated.
23. Even if you're 2'4", you can't fit thru that iron gate with 3 feet
between the bars.
