I never use Fus Ro Dah against dragons, partially because they never live long enough against my Daedric Sword (legendary) with a 15-point fire damage enchantment.

Pfff nub, I punch dragons to death on master difficulty.

I would too, but it's just so damn slow. One gets to kill more dragons in the same time when using a weapon. Maybe when I have all the shouts unlocked I'll continue killing dragons...

*In Saxton Hale voice*

With my bare damn hands...

Alternatively, if I wanted to cherry tap them, I would use my bow & arrows.

I'm no biologist or anything, but I find it hard to believe birds evolved from dinosaurs just like that, there is just such an immense size difference in most other then the smallest dinosaurs.. Maybe large birds like emu and the like, but to me it's more seemly they would have shared a common ancestor.
That's what my first thought would be anyway but like I say I'm no biologist.  :(

Look up Archaeopteryx :)

Nice derail.  Back to the original topic, that stuff is all nice and all, but will it blend?

Probably no reason other than it giving them a larger B-peen.

Derailailaialailailail xD

My guess is if the blender is made of high carbon steel, and it's packed with this stuff, yes.

I think differentiating between 'birds evolved from dinosaurs' and 'birds evolved from a tiny number of dinosaur species' is just nitpicking.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I read this a few days ago. Basically it's a bunch of tiny hollow tubes made from a mold. If I remember correctly they said they can theoretically mold artificial diamond into these. While that would be made from an ultra hard material, it would still be hollow and would still have the properties of diamond, except in the form of a lattice of hollow tubes.

Basically you would have fragile (but made of extremely strong material for it's weight) hollow tubes made out of diamond. However, that description somewhat belittles it as at that scale the hardness of diamond would make a difference I would guess, in for instance the medical field.

CARBON TUBES YOU N00B!!!!!!
