It's also common here on the Emerald Coast of Florida. Breaded and fried. They end up looking like an Aliens Facehugger.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Aww, the Doc actually knows some sign language. Speculation time!
I can't imagine Chris spending six months on the story of how Doc and Judy met just for fun. So my prediction is that Judy is going to die in the next story and kick off the real endgame of his fight against Radical. Also possible is that Judy's knowledge of Doc's school and hometown is not coincidence, and she's a plant (from "The Wizard" that wants to kill him?) that is set to betray him. I think it's the death thing, though.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
I was a little disappointed with this arc, to be honest. It would have been nice to see a bit more doc-vs-frankengorilla action.
Still probably the most heartwarming one yet, though.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
I'm imagining douchebag phone user whom the doc HATES asked the question just before this.
May this be a lesson to turn off your phone before approaching receptionists or anyone else who has to interact with you.

That was an amazing ending.

New Chapter Title: A Bad Enough Dude
Does this mean that the president is getting kidnapped by ninjas and if we save them we get to have hamburgers with Reagan?
Also petrified cows.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
We've met the President now. I'm pretty sure she can take care of herself against the average ninja.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
doesn't she owe the Mc Ninja's money?

She agreed to pay them money. I'd be extremely surprised if she defaulted on that.

I think she only agreed to pay them money if they succesfully hacked the RadBot, which they didn't.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Did anyone else get the game? I kind of want to discuss some things.

I don't know about that. She looks tough, but she hasn't been shown to actually be that competent.

*Coughs*
Well, she does get beat up a little after that, so...

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Well now we have her name. What are the odds she'll try to rope Doc into a double-or-nothing deal?

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Umm, Doc, it looks like you got busted by the kid in the window.
-
Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Hmm ... stone cattle ... stone people ...
Gorgon attack?
-
Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
Cockatrices can turn things into stone in some mythologies, and we already know they exist.
This being Dr. Mcninja though, I know better than to try to predict anything.

Pretty sure the kid is also a statue. He must be hunting a cockatrice, or a gorgon/medusa.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
The cockatrice thing has a pretty good chance of being accurate, he's obviously trying to get more ingredients for some of that kickass pizza.

How stealthy must one be while he is hunting cockatrices? Dr. Mcninja seems to be trying to be stealthy, so maybe it is a smart enemy (which could still be a cockatrice, I have no idea how smart they are).
-
Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
It turns people to stone by looking at them. (or variously, touching/breathing on them). This doesn't appear to require the target to meet its gaze, so even against a very dumb opponent, the attack would have to be a stealthy one to make it practical for success.

Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
There's always basilisks as well, if we're looking for 'turn things to stone' critters.

Have you ever tasted basilisk pizza? Bleh. :smallyuk:

Mythical basilisks just kill with their gaze/touch/voice, they don't petrify. Though there is a certain amount of overlap between the two creatures in various sources, using the name of one to describe the other.

Well, as you say, it depends. Just talking about modern stuff (which can be a grab bag and mish mash of things at the best of times), D&D and various computer games feature the 'turn to stone' idea. Other computer games (inculding some in the same series as they evolve) have petrify.
It very probably is a cockatrice though. I just threw out basilisks since they're one of the few mosters who have been shown to petrify things that hadn't been mentioned yet.
-
Re: Dr McNinja III: You Rad Bro?
I think my point was more that saying 'it could be a basilisk instead of a cockatrice' is a bit like saying 'it could be an alligator instead of a crocodile'. Two different species, but conflated by popular knowledge to the point where they're often used interchangeably despite one being very different to the other.

Implying that being turned into stone doesn't kill you. :p
Really though, with all the similarities between Basilisks and Cockatrice I wouldn't be surprised if they originate from the same myth.

One is a lizard that turns people to stone, the other is a chicken that turns people to stone: Together they fight crime.
