Sorry darling, but it was a late 18th century, early 19th century money making scheme.

Quote:
The story of a dog slain in error after killing a wolf seems to have been attached to Llewellyn about 1793-4 by a local inn-keeper. A common enough occurrence along the same lines of hotels and taverns placing signs like "Ye Olde Inne" to attract more custom. William Spencer visited Beddgelert and, on hearing the tale, wrote his popular ballad about the faithful Gelert and so the story grew into the speech and hearsay of Wales.

Evisceration is a sign of respect.

Some corrections:
I think you meant walrus for the tuskaninny.

Draik - Drake

Donna's account is named Donna. ;)

Walrus, yeah, that's what I was trying to think of.

The thing about Donna's account was a joke. :P

Wasn't Tuskaninny like a bad guy on the cartoon, Darkwing Duck? "You'll never get away with it, Tuskernini!! Get him, Launchpad!"

EDIT: Image

Oh? I always thought Lupe was named after Lupin, some word for wolf (but is also a flower).

No, I was not thinking of Professor Lupin off Harry Potter.

Actually, it came from latin first of all: Lupus. So Lupin was named after that :)

I spotted that awhile ago, but that's because thanks to interests I had when I was a kid, I know my dinosaurs. ;)

Yeah, 'Strawberry Fields Forever' is a Beatles song. I was amused when I finally found that reference. There's another Beatles reference somewhere on the site, but I forget where.

I always thought 'Lupe' was a fancier, scientific name for 'wolf', but that's just me.

Yes, I'm still alive...still alive...

Oh, What you can learn from watching FOOD NETWORK!
