Of course the fact that the average hull is much more rigid, has more surface
area, and tends not to be able to flop out of the way wouldn't have anything
to do with it either.  The fact that a person has a much more compact support
system (skeleton or exoskeleton for the majority of races--those without it
tend to be immune to blunt weapon damage like the giant slug) and fewer "key"
points on a catapult stone scale doesn't have anything to do with it either.

Do you really think I'd admit to stealing that much money in my email sig?
Uhh, don't answer that.

  The crazier the people are around me the saner I am.  That's why I work in
an asylum. No, not the rubber room again! No, but, but, my email...
