BTiLC should be required viewing for all role-players. Just a great, fun film. The climactic scene between Jack and Lo-Pan (the knife-throwing) is perhaps the finest example (maybe the *only* example) of a fumble followed by a critical in the history of cinema .... Jack Burton is like a lot of the characters I play. He fumbles a lot, doesn't get the girl and picks up monsters. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Probst bprobst@netspace.net.au ICQ 6563830 Melbourne, Australia MSTie #72759 "Eat lead, space pansy!"

I'm particularly looking for mass and shoulder height for larger quadrupeds, e.g.: horses, camels, elephants, large predators (lions, tigers and, bears; Oh my! ;-)). Having estimates of same for big prehistoric beasts (e.g. carnosaurs and ceratopsians) would be bonus.
