Why does the POST's I just made above have "RE: VB6 is DEAD!"????

Yep, it turns out that I didn't include Lincoln the first time I did the calculations hence the lower number which I only noticed when I double checked my double check.Quote:

I think the key initial issue is becoming aware that there are problems associated with making cybermen either too small or too large. I imagine that many folk either focus on the tallest or the smallest and completely dismiss those close to the average and their view on average height is probably the same i.e. if they focus on the tallest then they want the average height to grow indefinitely, if they focus on the smallest then they want the average height to shrink indefinitely.Quote:

Speeds are said to be:
Greyhound...........74 km/h (46 mph)
African wild dog ...71 km/h (44 mph)
Hyena ................60 km/h (37 mph)
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastest_animals
However, this BBC site states that "The 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of Records records the highest speed at which any greyhound has been timed at (in 1994) as 41.83 miles per hour [67.3 kph]."
source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/place-london/plain/A8246225
So there seems to be quite a bit of exaggeration going on re speeds, so be very wary.
Barrk reminds me of a spotted hyena.
"Despite their enormous size, brown bears are extremely fast, having been clocked at speeds of 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour)."
Source: http://animals.nationalgeographic.co...ls/brown-bear/
Thus any large brown bear will probably have quite a lot of difficulties against a pack of African wild dogs, wolves, or spotted hyenas. Wiki confirms that "the individual power of the bear against the collective strength of the wolf pack usually results in a long battle for kills or domination". As far as I can tell the brown bears aren't fast enough to catch the faster dogs including hyenas, wolves, and African wild dogs which relegates the bears to scavengers in areas where they both compete, and that means that the bears often follow the dogs around when they are hungry. Smaller female bears are in danger of falling prey to a pack of dogs, although a pack often chooses not to fight the larger male brown bears, even if they are likely to win, as the fight may result in the death or serious injury of one or more members of the pack. However, if a pack of dogs was forced to fight a large male brown bear, where the collective weight of the pack weighed less than or equal to the bear's weight, I would put my money on the dogs.
I have seen some documentaries where the presenter interprets the dogs' refusal to fight large male bears as submission, e.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmfX-bogZdU
However, I don't agree with the interpretation. The bear in the video is clearly behaving as a scavenger and following the wolves to get some food and the bear is not fast enough to catch and kill any member of the pack. The dogs are clearly the dominant predator frequently taking the female bears and cubs as prey and certainly capable of taking the larger males even though there is a larger risk involved. All the dogs have to do to kill the bear is get one or more of the pack to distract the bear while the rest bite it on the ass.

Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your recommended weight is 136.4 lbs - 184.3 lbs (62 -83 kg)
Hmmm at around 80kg that is heavier than cheetahs and hyenas, more like a small bear:
"An adult grizzly living inland in Yukon may weigh as little as 80 kg (180 lb), while an adult coastal brown bear in nearby coastal Alaska living on a steady, nutritious diet of spawning salmon may weigh as much as 680 kg (1,500 lb)." - Wiki

B.T.W. that really did happen to Bear Grylls and his face really did swell that much.
Alternativly the Japanese Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus japonicus), weighs "between 60–120 kg for the adult male and 40–100 kg for the adult female".
Louisiana Black Bears are heavier than I thought.
Heh, yep.Quote:

Nope, I think it was bad steak.
There's no such thing as bad steak. Steak is always good. Must be Psychosematic.
