    My brother did this when he was five. Well, by dissect I mean he shook them up first and stabbed them with a kitchen knife so that they'd spray everywhere. I'm not sure how much scientific knowledge he obtained before Mom caught him, though. (I don't think we ever got the spots off the ceiling)

      I had one the other day, wish I knew about this thread so I'd remember to save it. It involved putting something under a pillow that shouldn't be under a pillow, like food. May have been a fish.

          Yeah, I've had people asking for metal bars to go under their pillows.

            I got two good ones, one weird and one cute;

            Weird first, cause that's what the original poster asked for:

            Actually Haley, no I don't :)... /weirdo


            And another one I thought was cute when I was trying to "woo" Sam, about half-way through I got a request that he was looking for a "cute girl" to bring him a fish of some type.
            I was like "challenge accepted" and we've been married ever since! ;) haha

              Got one earlier from Caroline that said she needed a Joja Cola for her stew??? Bleck. :nurusick:

              Any of Haley's "FOR GIRLS ONLY" raises my eyebrows.
              If only they added Cucumbers to the game then wait for the chance for her to request one.

                @Dancy123 @Squidacious Haley's requests are definitely some of the weirder ones out there. The only ones she's given that make any sense at all to me involve seaweed or algae. (Sam's requests are very cute, however - as is his reaction when I complete them!)

                Also, cola is sometimes used as a sweetener for things like roasts. I've never heard of it as an ingredient in a stew, though/

                    I like Haley's requests when she says she'll love you forever if you give her something

                    Think my favorite *UH....* was someone wanting a gold bar to put around a necklace.

                      Yesterday, I got a request from George for a hot pepper to rub on his sore knee. That's not that unusual, but on the same day I triggered Harvey's two-heart event where he's giving George his checkup. So I walked in on that, told George that he should listen to his doctor's advice ... and then as soon as Harvey was out the door, slipped George the folk remedy he asked me for.

                        Once Abby was bored and asked for a seaweed. Unsurprisingly one fishing trip later she decided that the seaweed was not as interesting as she thought.

                        Once my friend mentioned a time when he got a quest where someone wanted an eel to rub on their sore gums

                            Linus asked me for an earth crystal to rub on his sore knee. That actually made kinda sense; I could see Linus being into crystal healing. Unfortunately for him the mines refused to yield one up to me.

                                I really don't think that's true, Harvey and I now question your authority as a doctor.

                                A tea party with Shane huh? Didn't know Shane was the tea party typeX3

                                  I'm sure your cat would be delighted to have you use sardines as a halitosis remedy.

                                      - as long as Demetrius knows if it's a fruit or vegetable oO
                                      - does Harvey want to counteract a Halitosis or does he want to create one. I am not sure ;)
                                      (is the word tonic rexerved for remedies? englisch is not my native language)
                                      - well since Marnie requests cave carrots for her animals, you know with whom Shane drinks his tea...

                                        One of my first board quests was Haley requesting a parsnip for secret reasons stating that "Only girls would understand"

                                        kind of a :lod: wtf Haley? moment
                                        Or maybe it's just my dirty mind...

                                          Technically, it's a root. Usually defined as a 'root vegetable', but that's semantics.

                                          And, no, tonic /could/ be applied to mean 'a causative agent'; it's not the usual meaning but Harvey could be sly and playful with the language. 'A tonic /for/ halitosis' can easily be read as, 'something which causes halitosis'. How unexpectedly impish of Doc Harvey. I didn't know he had it in him. (Perhaps my marriage to him in another save is rubbing off.)
