While retrieving Yossarian's tools today, I noticed that mafia doesn't seem to be aware that there are two possible incorrect messages that the vegetable gremlin could offer. It is aware of "It picks a beet off itself and beats you..." but is not aware of "It picks a radish off of itself and and tosses it..."

The radish message appeared for several rounds starting at round 2, but the beet message didn't appear til round 9, but I dutifully waited for mafia to advise me that this was not the correct monster. After the fight, I wikid it and saw that there are two possible incorrect messages.

Relevant HTML and thensome:
Code:
<img id="monpic" src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/adventureimages/gremlinveg.gif" height="100" width="100"></td><td valign="center">You're fighting <span id="monname">a vegetable gremlin</span><font color="gray" size="2"><br>HP: 181, Atk: 179, Def: 183<br>Drops: gremlin juice (3), <font color="#dd00ff">molybdenum screwdriver</font> (0 cond)</font></td></tr></tbody></table><br><table><tbody><tr><td valign="center"><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/itemimages/documents.gif" alt="rock band flyers" title="rock band flyers" height="30" width="30"></td><td valign="center">You slap a flyer up on your opponent.  It enrages it.</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">You have completed 86.54% of the necessary advertising.</td></tr></tbody></table><p><table><tbody><tr><td>It picks a radish off of itself and tosses it at you.  You get run over by a horse.</td></tr></tbody></table><b><font color="red"> Eek! Argh! Argh!

This is the first I've heard of this. I wonder why that gremlin has two "bad" messages and the other kinds have only one?

The revision history for the wiki had this in the comments:

There's probably a more polite way Greycat could have stated that, but anyhow, yeah.
