Maybe not so much around the 'Promised Land' either, now that I get to counting on my fingers.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure we got more than half the land mass of the globe covered.

Was it Atilla the Hun or Ghengis Khan who managed to put his DNA in a ridiculously large percentage of the modern population?

Genghis Khan. Saw it on some documentary.

Well, looks like our fanfic writers were pretty much spot on, when they ended up putting the twins' dad in the fight at Pillsbury Mills.

If that's how big Nadette gets, I'd hate to see how big Bernard gets when HE goes feral...

Yeah. Ol Bernard is probably the size of an elephant.

Bernard, in full feral, once peeled open the roof of a Brinks Truck with his claws (It had rolled several times and was on fire at the time- it landed on it's side and Bernard opened it to get the occupants out- they panicked and sprayed him with automatic fire until he bellowed out, "STOP THAT- THAT HURTS, DAMMIT!!!") Another time he played 'freeway hockey' using a ford pinto for the puck and his paws as the stick... but that was when he was a freshman in college (and was quite drunk).

She still drunk texts him every week or so. It used to be annoying until The Missus read the texts and busted out laughing. Now its an inside joke among the adults of the family.

I'd also been considering a short-faced bear, but the facial profile is wrong.
Of course, there are other kinds of extinct bears too . . .

I'm thinking she's actually getting in some early practice for next year's Halloween party. She's going to go with the "bad girl" theme, and is planning to morph into a stunning example of a Menura ursafacies (now sadly extinct... for some reason they had trouble establishing stable long-term mating pairs)FreeFlier wrote:Of course, there are other kinds of extinct bears too . . .

Duckduckgo found nothing for the term. Google Translate says that menura is Basque for menu and facies is Latin for faces but couldn't find any one language that would translate both terms. (Ursa is bear in both Basque and Latin.)Dave wrote:Warrl wrote:???Dave wrote:Menura ursafacies
With a bit more work I figured out that the term would be for a bear-faced lyrebird. (Scientific names of animals often draw on multiple language.) However there are only two species of lyrebird, and neither carries or merits that description.
