Well, seeing as the only real intruders here in General are trolls, would your really want to mistreat a nice tiger by feeding it on troll? ;)

no! a Myrth!

And speaking of the devil, where's he been these days? Last I heard he was in actual trouble for an abuse of his mod powers in regards to an invasion.

1. Which is the good creature among the creatures of the Good Spirit that from midnight till the sun is up goes and kills thousands of the creatures of the Evil Spirit?

2. Ahura Mazda answered: 'The dog with the prickly back, with the long and thin muzzle, the dog Vanghapara*, which evil-speaking people call the Duzaka2; this is the good creature among the creatures of the Good Spirit [Spenta Mainyu -JHP] that from midnight till the sun is up goes and kills thousands of the creatures of the Evil Spirit.

3. 'And whosoever, O Zarathushtra! shall kill the dog with the prickly back, with the long and thin muzzle, the dog Vanghapara, which evil-speaking people call the Duzaka, kills his own soul for nine generations, nor shall he find a way over the Chinwad bridge3, unless he has, while alive, atoned for his sin4.'

4. O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! If a man kill the dog with the prickly back, with the long and thin muzzle, the dog Vanghapara, which evil-speaking people call the Duzaka, what is the penalty that he shall pay?

Ahura Mazda answered: 'A thousand stripes with the Aspahe-astra, a thousand stripes with the Sraosho-charana.

Trolls. Not just one, but hundreds, or maybe thousands. Of cource, these trolls must be kept securely, or they may begin roaming around, flaming eachother to death and otherwise generally making NS a bit crispier.

They could also the used for intresting experiments in which Cogitation tries to achieve cogitation in their brains, only to have them pass through a Micro$oft certified nuked railroad a few milliseconds later, thereby squashing them to death and stimulating the growth of radioactive cheese in the General forum.

Large quantities of this magnificent radioactive cheese can then be used to power NS. The resulting exceptionally cheesy waste may then be used to feed more trolls...

General isnt responsible enough to have its own pet. The pet should go to NS :P

If NS General got a pet, it would die while people argued about:
1. If it had a soul
2. Its sexual orientation
3. If it was 'liberal' or 'conservative'
4. That it looked sort of like Bush and should be put down
5. If it could count
6. How to properly dispose of its waste
7. Its diet
8. If it was sentient
9. Animal rights
10. Whether or not it should be able to get an abortion

And much more.

True, but since it would be a monkey, we could just consider it scientific research into sociopolitical dynamics for the greater good of mankind. It would not die in vain! (And we could eat it. Yum!)
