I must protest on behalf of minotaurs everywhere about the vile calumny against minotaurs and the Minotaur in particular. There has never been a documented case of a minotaur, or specifically the Minotaur, eating another minotaur. On p2 (American edition) it is clearly stated that the Minotaur is "cannibalistic". As is well known, minotaurs (and especially the Minotaur) will eat nothing but fresh, wholesome people, centaurs, aardvarks....
Wasn't the minotaur half-human though, and therefore at least semi-cannibalistic if it ate people?
I really don't believe I get into these arguments - I'm a total sucker for them. Welcome, btw. someone will no doubt be along in a moment to be tedious at you with the notion of virtual cake. Run while you still can, is my advice...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.
But the same would be true if the Minotaur ever ate a steak or a hamburger. He'd be a semi-cannibal. So if you put the two together, you get one full cannibal, and thus, there is at least a possibility that the facts were, in fact, stated correctly.
And as PSD has given me the opening, here, have some cake!
