Rasüur
This appears to be a hoax. Google only finds one site that has ever heard of these beasts (and the text of this article is almost word-for-word identical to a forum post there). The other participants in this forum seem skeptical of the claims made there, too. I strongly suspect that this is a hoax (especially since elsewhere on the same site rasüur are described as funeral poetry for Malaysian nobles) and as such should be deleted.

 * Delete. The folks at poetry.tetto.org (the site Kelly Martin linked to) decided that Rasüur is a hoax, who are we to gainsay them? FreplySpang (talk) 23:11, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Gotta admire the effort people go to in order to be funny with their hoaxes. Harro5 00:21, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Weak BJAODN candidate, the hoax gets less and less likely as the text progresses, and ends up with a quite ridiculous statement, which is pretty standard "gotcha" technique but quite well constructed here. That's not to say that fact is not often stranger than hoaxes, that very fact is what makes this sort of hoax funny. Andrewa 13:43, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
