I think that must have been because they had no one else to shoot at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't remember the combination to his office safe and kicked it in frustration, injuring his foot. He died 6 years later from the gangrene that set in because of that injury. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar vein (no pun intended), In 892, Sigurd the Mighty of Orkney strapped the head of his defeated foe, Máel Brigte, to his horse's saddle. The teeth of the head grazed against his leg as he rode, causing a fatal infection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technocrat Posted November 26, 2013 #272 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Arabian horses have one less rib, one less lumbar bone, and one or two fewer tail vertebrae than other horses. I can't help wondering if that could be the reason why horses owned by the Arabs tend to do extremely well in British horse races during the summer months! Could it even possibly be an unfair advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
