Well, a male bison is a bit more imposing than a female bison...it's not
there to look cute, I'm sure.  (But I wouldn't want to meet up with either
bison and be at it's mercy...)

Yeah, Poles kinda rooted for Napoleon too; I was quite startled to see 
such a different attitude in England (via Georgette Heyer's 
romances)... We were particularly upset when he got whupped at 
Borodino; we had such high hopes for a Poland free of Russia at last...

Heard in a store today that the newly-issued nickel (5 cent piece) is 
to be recalled - the bison on it looks too male. While it sounds like 
a lot of baloney to me, I can't be absolutely certain it's not true, 
since the amount of absurdity being spouted in public seems to have no 
end...
