    Anyway, further reading in this article (at applications) reveals the apparent lack of chemical knowledge by the mafioso. Osmium is extremely toxic, and rarely is used in its pure form. Also, as you would naturally expect from an extremely dense metal, it is very very very hard and brittle. You could not loop it around a person's neck without it snapping. Even if by some miracle you could, the toxic would probably be enough to kill them, and you wouldn't hold on. Why? BECAUSE IT'S TOXIC AND HARD! It would probably have cut the neck somehow and entered the bloodstream, or if it's potent enough even just burn right through the skin. It's also highly unlikely that someone can rip it apart when deprived of an oxygen supply.

    Hence, it's probably someone trying to frame disco. However, he's an engineer who has no need of knowing the dense elements well. As he's an engineer, he'll be interested in smelly physics anyway. He probably wouldn't know this much about osmium, and so wouldn't include this detail. He'd be too busy playing DD and playing with his shrunken head to look it up as well, IMHO.
    Very interesting, Tib, I notice that Sigurd Fafnesbane and Kommodus appear to be the first to point the finger at Disco, specifically.

    Myrdraal, if by punctuation you mean the comma spam in most of the kill reports, that's mine. I love commas, and I'm not going to stop that anytime soon.

    You know, with this incredible rate of vote changing, round one will never end and the MVFJA members (me and SR) will die old and alone.
