... because Hist tree often repeats itself.

or (for the more literary minded)

“... the vintage of hist tree is forever repeating ~ same old vines, same old wines!” (E.A. Bucchianeri Faust; vol. 2)

    I found that you can actually beat the deafness out of your argonian slaves.

    because they can?
    There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today...”

    "We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La."

    Hang on! In the middle of a NPC conversation when has a Khajiit broken off, dropped their trousers and cleaned itself? Never. You detract from the intention and spirit of the thread. I need to hear that like I needed Stale Radish in that barrel I looted as a vet.

    To get the taste of Khajiit cooking out of their mouths! Hahaha! A real thigh-slapper, that one, eh? Phew. I heard lots others, only I can't remember them.

    Now I feel bad :\ but anyways....I'm sure Khajiit only lick their butts after a meal, preferably before engaging in conversation

    If the quests in the Daggerfall Covenant are to believed most Argonians are descended from Crocodilians. As the relatives of these mighty reptiles it can safely be assumed that Argonians have a similar hearing structure.

    To keep it short Argonians can hear low frequency sounds in the 50-1,500 Hz range (Humans can hear sounds at frequencies from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) through both their ears, (mammalian stapedius muscle aka a hole covered with a membrane; kinda like a drum) jaw, and in addition to this sensory equipment, crocodilians have apical pits on the scales of their face and bodies which are sensitive to vibrations traveling through water.

    So pretty much Argonians can hear you via ear holes, their jaw, and armpits while swimming.
