Just asking

 

The mongols would drink blood from their horses while they were fighting. There is about 15 gallons of blood in a horse. A unicorn of similar size should have about the same amount.

The human body can hold about 2 to 2.5 gallons of liquid before drowning in excess. It can also not hold that amount of protein without reacting negatively. This is why no one can drink an entire gallon of milk at once.

So why do I keep reading about Quirrell draining a unicorn of all it's blood? It shouldn't be possible. And the amount that he could possible drink shouldn't have killed the unicorn.

Now I believe he killed the unicorn before starting to drink from it. But I also think he should have brought something to hold the excess, maybe. It just bugs me that it is so unclear.


Re: [CaerAzkaban] OT: anyone with math or science skills want to be a mentor?

 

Sounds great, and it's even in my neck of the woods, but I am already a part-time lecturer at UTSA (in addition to my day job), so my free time tends to be measured in negative numbers...

And you are correct...lots of 1st-in-family around these parts. UTSA, St. Mary's, TAMUSA, Texas State...all actively recruit 1st timers...

Hi Karen,
I'm looking for folks with computer science and calculus skills
to share with some of our college students at Texas State. This
could be virtual, it could get a little tricky with the time
change. We are u. S. Central.
I would hope to get students and volunteers connected in the next
two to three weeks. Any interested people can go here to
apply:

answer questions.

Thanks!

Positive home hunting vibes needed..again.

Re: Alpaca v Llama

 

All true.

The No Drama Llama was actually an alpaca.

Re: hp crosses with Zelanzny?

 

I imagine once the newly planned Amber series gets started the fanworks will increase considerably.
Frankly stunned there are so few hp crosses though.

And, that no one has asked to finish Merlin's story.

Re: hp crosses with Zelanzny?

 

There is another BtVS cross with Zelazny's Amber books that I have read...

It's a YAHF and Xander dressed as Corwin. The next day, Corwin turns up and teaches Xander how to use a sword.


Turns out there are about½a dozen crosses on TtH. Going to have something to read after work today.

I remember a one-shot, probably part of a one-shot and abandoned starts collection, which had Corwin confronting Dumbledore in his office on Harry's behalf, but it would be hard to find it. The is more of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer cross - when Xander goes on his road trip, he manages to acquire Amber genes and picks up Sirius Black, who showed up there when he fell through the Veil.
