If a statue of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle...

If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle;
if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes;
if the horse has three legs in the air and one on the ground, the person died of a ninja attack;
if the horse has both back legs in the air, the person died in a rodeo;
if the horse has four legs in the air, the person died in space.

(can anyone come up with a better 3 and 4?)

I swear it looks like it's hovering up and down slightly, though it isn't.

old trick he learned from John Cleese
He died while attacking somebody with a banana. First, incapacitate the attacker. Second, eat the banana, thus disarming him.

I'm very glad there's more than one way to access B3ta, my good old trusty method of www.b3ta.com gives me a gateway timeout...I almost cried

more Karate Kid-ish - trying to imagine a horse standing on one foot, that's all that came to mind

What does it mean...
...if the horse has a stiffy?
( Mystery_Bob, Fri 24 Oct 2003, 19:42, archived)

It means that
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year
Is the spring. I do, don't you?
'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes every Sunday a treat for me:

All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try and hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright, everything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety, and caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society with our games.
They call it impiety and lack of propriety,
And quite a variety of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free, why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickening with each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon. It just takes a smidgin
To poison a pigeon in the park

If it has four legs in the air
and one still on the ground... it's a mightily impressive horse!
