Ok, sounds like I'm going to have to reveal the back-story...I'll give you the shortened version:

Spoiler:

The man in question, and a friend, were on a trekking holiday deep in the mountains, and got badly lost. Eventually all their food ran out, and in desperation whilst they waited to be rescued or find their way out again, agreed a pact that to survive they would have to eat one of their arms. The other person would keep both of his arms, so that they remained able to help them both survive.

This was done on the condition that once they reached civilisation again, the person who had retained both arms would have one of his surgically removed and sent to the other as proof that he had kept the pact.

Which brings us back to the postman and his parcel...

Oh... I never would have thought it was that reasonable. I was looking for something really off the wall...

I vote that we revoke ALL of Orlok's karma, and make him sit in the corner for a week.

I'm with you. I'm checking right now to see if moderators have the power to place a negative sign before someone's karma count!

There was a time when moderators had the power to give negative karma! Do you feel - only for this special case - that it was a mistake to remove this possibility???

(Sorry, I just gave orlok karma for this wonderful tricky question )

OK - here's an easy quiz (i.e., it actually has a factual answer! ):

This food item was invented in 1829 in New Jersey. It was part of a dietetic regimen developed to combat "carnal urges" (i.e. lust!). Although the regimen never caught on, this baked good became an American favorite.
