What's wrong with raining arrows? It's rained Bronze Arrows on me twice already...

"Swix says as she walks in, with said arrows sticking in her shoulders before waving at Goron*

I wondered where you went Wink

It rained Emeralds on me. Just one question: Why'd I only pick up one? They're worth heaps! I would've thought Net'd get out the big Dollar Sign sack and nick off with as many as possible Razz

Thats what I was thinking. If it rained anything remotely valuable around me I'd grab as many as I could carry!

That's what you said about the Gerbils

And thats what I would have done with the gerbils as well.

I don't suppose theres any chance it will actually rain gerbils is there?

Possibly, althogh I'm not sure they'll be worth much after they land, and splatter all over the place.

And it was in the 2007 version. What's your point?

Mind you, the 1962 version was of a different name...

Sorry to disapoint you guys, but I think it only rains items. So until a gerbil item comes along (not impossible), there will probably be no gerbil tornadoes.

As for you Net, we know how kind-hearted you are. You probably just took one and left the others to the poor. Or the noobs.

EDIT: I lied. My wallet just spontaneously generated yen.

i'm saying frank miller took it from "the 300 spartans" and put it in his graphic novel, which in turn was put into the movie.

You only get one item when it rains because:

a) The Mutant Chicken population are voracious item hoarders and they quickly make off with anything not in your immediate vicinity.
b) Dropped items are almost immediately subsumed by the Dojo's ground, providing a rich fertilizer.
c) it would break our economy to have more than one item dropped in a random rain. Wink

You throw the Mutant Chicken at Loose Items, and the fowl fowl screeches as it flies through the air in cloud of stench and feathers. Feathers ruffled, the Mutant Chicken squawks and takes off running, a mean glint in its beady red eyes.

Well, I suppose you'd be too busy dodging Steel Bars to care about picking up any spares Razz

It rained stone arrows on me yesterday. I can see myself walking around Blackstar staring at the sky, ready to duck and cover at the first sign rain.

And come to think of it the rain of mutant chickens scares me more than anything since I found out we can't get a rain of sanity blades (which would be great if they were packaged to stop them from touching us, but I somehow doubt even Blackstar has gift wrapped rain.)

Edit: It had to be done. technically not rain but I did manage to get a bucket of water gift wrapped. Very Happy
