Use the wings to get better leverage. See my notes with regard to Emu. Also, filghtless birds do tend to be slipperier, making getting a good grip harder. Although that does give an advantage in the slide, as noted below. > Regular birds don't skid well on snow, always good for some extra > yardage. True. If we're counting slide distance (instead of first contact) then penguins would work well. Also, seals and other "hairless" mammals. For a real challenge, try tossing orca.

When tossing, say, and albatross, you can use the wings instead of the legs for a good grip. Also, you get extra points if you get it hung around someone's neck. :-) --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144937 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
