@Sereg I think the real issue there is assuming that ponies even have to have a surname (even when Word Of God is that they don't, IIRC), not so much with the one you chose.
@crowlover Are you forgetting Rarity's skills in the telekinesis department? It can be very precise.

Yup she did, and also, it's generally assumed that Rairty's control over her TK is at the extremely high end of the curve, we don't see any other unicorn manipulate so much or so timey of items so dexterously.
Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool.
My random thoughts
So I was at the Pit of 100 Trials today. Hardest dungeon in the game. No save points, very few places to buy items. Got through all the levels over a several hour period. Reached the final boss.
Theeeeen Bonetail's nearly dead, have him at like 6 HP. After many bullshit moments of bad luck and using my items, I managed to nearly win.
Then I got smacked and lost.

Oh! Well, yes. I know that they officially don't now, but they idea that they might not didn't even occur to me before I started writing the fic (due to all the evidence that they did). And by the time that I found out, pony's having surnames had become such a vital componant to my fic, that it's just easier to accept that the version of Equestria in which my fic takes place has surnames.
I don't think I got more than like 8 levels into the pit. But then again, this was still during chapter 1. Yes I was an idiot who explored the wrong way.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

It just seems odd to me... if a pony was using their mouth to manipulate surgical tools it would be really unsanitary.
Maybe they have muzzle gloves they can wear that lets them use their mouth without all the germs?
Oh hi Surprise. I can't say much for your taste in plushies though.
At Paper Mario, did you try the exploit where you stack a lot of badges that work when you're on less than 5 hp together with <5 max hp?

Ah, the Pit of 100 Trials.
I've either beaten it once or never.
Well I guess I can kiss my My Documents folder goodbye. If this gets anyworse I will have to commit the ultimate solution FORMAT C:. -Dramatic thunder Thunder-
If I ever play Thousand Year Door Again I am so totally rolling BP Every level.

@Turtle I don't know much about the history of the medical profession, but are the ponies at a point where they recognize that bacteria exist and how to remove them?
And do they have the methods of sterilization we have at our disposal?
