I don't know that I've ever seen it's feet -- but that would definately
be the deciding factor.

Well, a thrombus, in and of itself really isn't funny -- potentially
fatal, but not really funny. A Thrombus is a blood clot. Usually caused
by a diet *much* too rich in cholesterol. (And it's *real* hard to get
much more saturated in cholesterol than deep-fat fried fat!)
