    How long does it take an un-fed troll to starve to death?

    I dunno, probably as long as it would take a leech on a fat man's *** to starve to death.

    On a related topic, does anyone remember these fine beasties (Yes, they were called "Trolls")? I sailed on a few as a young'un in the UK, but haven't seen one in years. Moving to the States in 84 didn't help, of course...

    "Troll" was a quite popular motor sailer her, also a car was called Troll, inthe 1950ies I think, built in grp, but it couldn't compete with Volvo and Saab.
