Testicular test: How many level 1 gnomes does it take to kill a level 85 tauren?

How many level-1 gnomes does it take to kill a level-85 tauren? The folks on the Sargeras server in Europe conducted a rather amusing test. They gathered around five or six hundred level-1 gnome characters to swarm a single level-85 tauren. This tauren must have had quite the temper; if it were an angry arms warrior...

The battle ended much faster than I expected. Afterwards, to celebrate, the gnomes went for a group long-distance run from Gnomeregan all the way to Booty Bay, passing through Ironforge and Stormwind along the way. The event concluded with a suicidal attack on Orgrimmar by the five hundred gnomes.
