  1. Now bring back the elks (that's moose for the ill-informed Yanks).

  2.  Jason Crosby  No, what you think is a moose is actually an elk. You got confused because the first English settlers, who'd never seen an elk (on the British Isles, elks had been hunted to extinction in the Bronze Age), mistook wapitis for elks. Then you had to find another name for the real thing: moose. However, the clue is in the Latin name, Alces alces. If moose were correct, it would be Moses moses or some such. BTW, we are a republic, but yes, like the Brits, we have our own variety of black pudding. We enjoy blood pancakes, too. I've even made some from elk blood (moose blood for the ill-informed).
