After we had her for about a week we were wondering why she hadn't pooped in the backyard yet... then our neighbor rang the doorbell to ask if we'd seen a dog in her yard taking care of business, we hadn't. Later that day I was in our dining room and the dog was out back and she jumped onto the brick wall of our porch, down onto the neighbors porch, down the stairs into her garden and took a dump then jumped back up and into our yard. I put planter on the wall and that stopped her but I did appreciate her wanting to keep our backyard nice and clean.

Good grief, there are always young. They're all over the place. Only a small percentage will reach adulthood so we have to come up with lots of gorn puke. That's just mother nature.

Do Gorns eat their young? Maybe not their own if they can identify them, but maybe the young of other Gorns? I know that Crocodilians will.

Cannibalism is much more efficient than war. No messy destruction, etc.

Or defective prions as in "mad cow" disease. Of course, with gorns you can't tell the difference.

That is best said when you are serving roast beef with gravy to people whom you don't really care for, especially if they have queesy stomachs.

Status: offline 		First time I saw 'Silence of the Lambs' was on a flight to London. I hadn't had enough to drink when the open the top of the skull scene came up. I felt like I was about to lose it so got up and sat on the edge of the exit door for about 15 min. No cabin crew came to see me, arrest me, or anything else. But this was pre 9/11.

If a Gorn had been on the flight I would have been toast.

There are some scenes in the TV series "The Pacific" that also feature smashed open skulls - don't watch the Peleliu episodes if you are still squeamish!

So why do so few young gorns reach adulthood ?

Are there other species which are higher on the food chain ?
Or do they merely get accidently stepped on or buried under an adult puke pile ?

Band of Brothers is still stunning though.

One non-Gorn opinion.

That just means that PIGS might spray their capsicum spray on you for seasoning while individuals will be upset because you consume all or almost all of their ethanol products.
