> explain just _why_ my theory isn't valid? it's automatically a 
flint because you've never considered the angle that would make it  
not-a-flint? I got the impression the book described a big feast for 
the 500th, there's no reason there couldn't have been for the 100th 
as well. and, rounding down doesn't explain "nearly" 400. do we have 
_any_  canon evidence that the last time he'd eaten was when he was 
alive?  > --Random832

US version, p. 133, you almost need the whole page, but I will put a 
few key sentences here that lead me to believe that they are Not 
capable of eating at this feast, or any other time after death.  But 
of course, I could be very wrong.
1. "Look, food!" said Ron
2. They approached it eagerly, but next moment had stopped in their 
tracks, horrified.  The smell was quite disgusting. [goes on to 
describe rotten, moldy, and burned food]
3. "Can you taste it if you walk through it?" Harry asked him.
4. "Almost," said the ghost sadly, and he drifted away.
