Nice one! I can so imagine the theme tune playing whilst he's slowly going down heh heh!

47) Hides a dark and twisted nature. Cool or what?

He does, hmm. Skulduggery CAN be quite scary when he wants to be. But...

48) He's always smiling! :D:D:D

hehe! Always smiling aww. :) but that is kinda disturbing, especially if he was in a dark mood (shudder)

49) Was able to put himself back together. How on earth did he do that?

50) he's so great, that they're making a film about his life story hahaa

Wow guys! About half way there now!

51) Would never slip! okay so he said tha tto Valkyerie in the second book when he said "I was only joking, i would never had slip!" So, i beleive him.

52) okay, he's probably the only guy who wears a wirey red wig and pulls it off. No one has ever told him that he looked weird. (Okay, maybe paddy asked him why he was dressed as the invisable man, but he still pulls it off)

53) can stand soo still that when he's in a wax museum, so not be caught, he stand still and could be taken for a wax model. (Good disguise eh?)

54) okay, i dunno if this is right, but he would never take a bath!

55) has cash from nowhere! but i guess he could easily save some, no food, no water, no products, no bed, no etc, ect, ect!

Blimey RhosFurey, your on a roll! :) ^^

Doh! I was just about to do the waxworks one, but ya beat me to it! Sammy the Skeleton, the Worst Detective in the World hehe!

Hmm, do skeletons need baths? hehe, I can kinda imagine him in a bubble bath with a shower cap adn rubber duckie! hahahaha

Yeah, he ALWAYS has cash! Maybe he get's paid, or maybe he's a milllionaire.

56) He may be "sophisticated, charming, suave and debonair, but by all means he isn't civilised. ;)

I've got some points...

57) He has fought Vampires, I mean wouldn't that be cool to actually meat a vampire, by all means fight it

58) He doesn't sleep. If we didn't need to sleep we could do a lot more things in our lives!

59) He is practically UNDEAD! Who says that isn't cool?!

60) He fought in a war (when he was alive). That is so very cool!

61) He doesn't need to worry about bright lights hitting his eyes. I wish my eyes could actually stand the sun!

62) He actually has mortal enemies - I mean, I don't.

63) He's skinny - no fat. But I guess there's no anything else either... anyways

64) He has the guts (not literally) to go out in public with a ridiculous hairdo and gloves etc when it is a super hot day and people think he is weird.

65) He fought the Grotesquery - that is CoOl!

I think I'll take a break of trying to think of why he is cool :)

Holy Macaroni, Funky Chick! Nine reasons in one post! I can't ever top that, can't even think of any reasons right now :( !!

Wow, all those reasons are amazing, and true! I like the one about sunglasses the most ^^

Gaha! A reason!

66) Was quite good at speeches, but now he might have lost his touch :(

thanks,

im kinda out of reasons now too

got a reason

67) he did know gordon edgley, a cool top selling author - who doesnt want to meet a cool top selling author

68) with all this detective work he still has time to tutor a young girl - multi-tasked

69) friends with stephE/valkyrieC - niece of gordonE - note reason 67

70) he went into those tunnels underneath gordons house and lived to tell the tale --- soo cool

Oh cow, Funky Chick! You rock at this stuff!

71) He has no brain, and yet he's able to come up with all these completely brilliant ideas!

72) He was really protective over Valkyrie when that pervy ghost, Anathem Mire, took a shine to her.

73) He's good at puzzles! *see 73*

Wow guys, aren't you all amzing at this. We'll have 101 reasons by dinnertime at this rate!

Yeah, K, that Anathem mire really was pervy!! when I read that part I was like "eww!" Who wants a pervy ghost trying to trap you in their messed up mansion?

Oh man, I can only ever think of one reason at a time!

74) Completly random, I know, but he'll never get's papercuts?!

good one Queen Nightshade, i hate paper cuts, which takes me on to another reason

75) Never bleeds, when ever he is shot my a bullet it just shots threw him, and yeah, maybe it may damage his awesome clothes, Buit atleast he has a tailor for a friend.

76) He is very, very optimistic...this is one of my favourite lines in the firat book he says, "Just becuase we're losing doesn't mean we've lost!" I love that bit!!

78) Does that cool (and quite gwgus) thing when he tilts his head side ways! And kneels against the wall...his body language just makes him cool. Oh yeah, and that Hands inthe pocket thing! XD

79) When he's talkin to someone and you think he's actually concentrating on that person then he suddenly reveals something completely off the topic. E.g, in The Faceless one when he and Valkyrie have met Paddy/Batu for the first time and they talk about robbers and that. the out of the blue skul jst goes out with, "I know what the anchor is...the Grotestquery..." I just thought that was funny how he thinks and realises stuff when he's doing somehting completely different.

80) His mysterious life...the five empty yrs we went missing, his family, his feelings, ect! he just the oltimit Enigma!!

Yeah, I love that little tilt-head-to-one-side thing!

81) He seems to be a very well adjusted skeleton

82) Has the best poker face ever

83) Is possibly the only guy to not fall in love for China's charms, or if he has or did, then he's good at not showing it

Um, I wouldn't be so sure about that last one, Nightshade. I mean, the story is told from Valkyrie's POV and from what she's seen, Skulduggery and China were just old friends. But then when GHastly comes back and is asking if Skulduggery's trusting China these days, Skulduggery hesitates.

Skul: I know what I'm doing.

Ghastly: When it comes to China Sorrows you RARELY know what you're doing.

So yeah, I think he's just quite good at hiding it.

84) Guild is jealous of him, heehee. Oh come on, it's OBVIOUS...

Hmm, point taken there, K. I trust your opinion as a pro on Skuldugerry Pleasant! ^^

Yeah, Guild is SSSOOO jealous! And who wouldn't be? Skul's got cool powers and is saving the world all the time, and Guild, well, he's just a big loser really.

85) Remember that time when they're looking for the Torment and they go into Scapegrace's old pub and have that fight? "Tanith Kick" ring a bell? Goes to show there's more to him that meets the eye. Perhaps he learnt that kind of stuff when he was a soilder, or maybe he just wanted to be cooler than Tanith?

Great reason guys!

After that long run, I can't really think of anything... *sigh*

...Just got a reason:

86) He is so popular that we all know of him yet his enemies don't seem to know that much

Oh yeah! It makes you think, how clueless his enemy's have to be. And thank you for the props, Queen Nightshade!

And yeah, I remember the Tanith kick. 'You don't DO those sort of kicks. TANITH does those sort of kicks!' Heehee, Skulduggery's thinks he knows karate.

87) His name! It's so incredibly original and suits him so much and no other person is ever going to have the same one. I mean, there are probably quite a few Harry Potters out there, right?

Gasp! How ever could we forget such an incredible name! Yeah, there are quite a lot of Harry Potters, and he'll be the only Skulduggery Pleasant unless some super-fan decides to name their kid that o_0

Do you think he chose that name before or after he died? It is a little ironic that a skulduggerous (is that a real word?) guy like him happened to come back as a skeleton with a first name that happens to have "Skull" in it?

88) Hmmm... he managed to put himeslf together whilst tied up in a bag and floating downstream on a river. That is pretty cool, and you need a lot of skill to do that. Where would you start?!

Hmm, yes..... Hey Jasper, I know what to call our son!

Lol! Yeah, It's a funny coincedence, isn't it?I think it's Skulduggerific but whatever!

I didn't think of that, actually. I assumed the bag just sank to the botton and lay there...but that was kind of silly of me. I mean, bones aren't very heavy. Very good point, our Skulster is a clever guy!

Haha! Skulduggerific! Man, that's a fantastic new word! ^^ And Skulster! Wow!!!!!

89) For a guy with no eyes, he pretty observent. He notices things that veryone always misses out.

Heehee, thanks. But the Skulduggerific thing was on the website, describing their prizes. Skulster, is my own:D

90) Also, for a guy without eyes, he has this deep way of looking at you with those big hollow eye sockets and making your heart melt. *cough* Um, just saying.

Nice!

Aww, yeah he does make your heart melt instantly. It's like he has invisible laser vision that aims for your heart... that would be pretty cool if he could do that! ^^

91) He comes out with neat sayings like "Doors are for people with no imagiantion." Gotta love that line. ^^

Damn, we're almost at 100! Keep it up people!

You know I once saw the word Skulduggery in the title of a newspaper article, and it had nothing to do with the Skul series.

92) He has managed to hide his given name from everyone (as far as we know) after liveing hundreds of years

93) he is so cool that we have made a forum topic for how cool he is!

Right you are Funky Chick!

Apparently, according to the dictionary, skulduggery is to do with trickery, craftiness, slickness, decietfulness and dishonesty. (shrug)

94) He's so skinny, he could probably squeeze through real tight spaces

95) I'm not sure if this is a reason, but if his hand was cut off for some reason, do you think it would be able to move around by itself? Because if it could, that would be quite helpful!

90: everybody seems to be slightly afraid of him. when crux was threatening sorrows anybody?

91: Blew up the villian in second book like before he broke out. I forgot his name but it was really bad. Like everybody else names reflected on them but anyway

92:Never gets sunburn

93: Took on a faceless one. well he had help whit the necromancer but still:P

94: Dosent us doors becuase there for the uncreative:P Or something like thAT:D

Btw anybody else sad about bliss? Ummm if you havent read third book, umm woops:P

I dont think he was immune to sceptre...It was serpines sortave hand that he was:)

95: His muscles never get tired...Because he dosent have any

96: Calls the villian from second book an idiot for bringing a sword to a gun fight. It was in second book, i just liked it:)

thats about it for me i think:)

Oh my replie was oddly done. woops

Hey, don't worry about it ^^ You thought up some good reasons.

*GASP!* OMG, people, we did it! We reached 101 reasons! But the fun doesn't stop there, oh no! We should try and see and get as many as possible!

Ooh, okay!!

102) People put him in too many couples. Valduggery, Tanduggery, Chiduggery, Ghasduggery...

103) *see 102. His name sounds good in all the couples

104) He could probably complete the Impossible Quiz (stupid thing...)

105) he is soo cool, he doesn't have to bother for emails (well, as far as we know anyways)

106) Comes out with neat sayings like "haven't the foggiest."
