Try taking it very literally. more literally ? smelling salts ? edit: inserted quote Thats it 7Gryph7 Smelling salts or more correctly ammonia was extracted from a distillate of deer (in older English a hart or stag) and cattle horns and hooves. Today is it obtained via other chemical processes. Carbon Hunter: "The solution made from antelope horn for medicinal purpoes (similar to rhino hiorn)? " Maybe smelling salts would work for you instead of rhino horn, who am I to judge Edited October 3, 2011 by chingha Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Feeling confident - and have a question that is burning to be asked - especially with the Rugby World Cup getting to the knock out stages and all that controversy over the Red Card in Samoa. I had a really good question about samoa but decided on this "red card" question! Please identify the player throwing the punch. Edited October 3, 2011 by Carbon Hunter Quote Link to comment

+Midgleys_ZA Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 What animal, when dropped from a low height, will shatter and die ? I suspect a live pansy shell would break apart pretty easily. On second thoughts, the question said "shatter" so one of those branched corals would do that. and since it would no longer be attached to the reef it would die. Quote Link to comment
+7Gryph7 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I heard a rumour that a tarantula would shatter if dropped. dont know if its true? havent tested it yet. Quote Link to comment
+DRDM & Raider Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I heard a rumour that a tarantula would shatter if dropped. dont know if its true? havent tested it yet. 100% correct! Weird Fact: If you drop a tarantula it will shatter First of all, unless you are allergic to tarantula venom, they are harmless to humans (though they pack a painful bite). Some tarantulas can also shoot the “hairs” off their legs which can pierce human skin and cause great discomfort. Now – back to the weird fact. Tarantulas have an exoskeleton (that means its skeleton is on the outside) like crayfish and crabs. They shed their exoskeleton regularly – normally by lying on their back. (When they are shedding their skeleton, it is a good idea to keep right away from them as they will attack due to their vulnerable state.) Because the exoskeleton is very fragile, if a tarantula is dropped from a low height, it will shatter and die. Quote Link to comment

There is also All Nippon Airline - ANA. They are the launch customer for the 787 Dreamliner from Boeing later this year. Sorry, but no cigar. Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Qantas? Qantas was #2. Emirates was #3, but also the BIGGEST customer by far to place orders. Oh, and BTW, some Saudi Prince has ordered a "personalized" A380 and paid cash with the order!! Edited October 6, 2011 by cincol Quote Link to comment
