...wingspan matched the length of a wing on his Cessna 207.

Marinate for one hour in a gallon of Tabasco sauce...

I've heard that the mosquitos can get pretty big in Alaska.

Just the smaller, Florida version of the Mountain Lion. Same species.

A friend of mine who lives among a Mennonite community in the woods in middle TN recently spotted a black panther that the Mennonites had been telling him live in those woods. That would be cool to see. That is also just a black variant of the same species, and has nothing to do with the Black Panthers in St. Pete, FL and elsewhere.

"A Bald Eagle that size will mean that we'll just have to mint bigger quarters."

Then they wouldn't be worth a quarter they'd probably be worth about 35 to 40 cents. What would you call a 35 cent quarter? Think of the logistical nightmare! I need an ostrich to help bury my head in the sand, too much to worry about!
