If we can communicate with dolphins, I wonder if I will be able to negotiate with some of them to purchase the flesh of others.

This is waaay late, but that humans = fire-type is actually really accurate. We dp seem able to wreck forests and other grassy stuff.
But some forests require fires to continue existing.

Yes; it's more like we use fire to harness the chemical energy trapped in the veins of the earth to power our metal machine monsters. Ancient man is a creature balanced between nomadism and agriculture, at the mercy of the elements. Modern man is a master of the elements and among them fire his greatest tool and servant.

I think humans are probably more accurately a Fighting-Steel crosstype.

What about Amerindians or Eskimos or Aborigines or Tibetan monks? Are they excluded from elemental classifications of humanity? They'd probably be Grass-Psychic or something similar ;P

The mayas practiced extensive slash and burn agriculture, iirc. In a national geographic magazine they discussed that it might be behind their collapse

My dog has a taste of everything, collects fir items exclusively, leaves anything else out.
She stays when i listen to blues and runs away as soon as she hears even a tidbit of Gorjira, Vilhjarta or Meshuggah.

These are three consecutive posts in the same topic.

If you don't mind me, I will now begin vigorously questioning the concept of sanity.

Sanity is the act of taking actions deemed logically sound and acceptable - rather sanity being the form of insanity we have universally agreed as being sane.

I'm not asking for it, I'm questioning (thesaurus: doubting, wondering about) it.
