[LargeFormat] It's only a matter of time before another photo opportunity is gone forever...

[Brock Nanson]

Ah, Stuart, it was you.  I couldn't see any other messages once I started 
writing (PINE email program) and wasn't going to guess.  I won't get into 
a debate as to which nation or continent boasts the heaviest citizens, but 
will explain how it is that Canadians aren't terrible hefty (well, they 
are, but that spoils the fun).

It's very simple.  We eat them.  The heaviest are generally the easiest to 
catch, offer the most calories and generally leave leftovers.  Canada is 
of course the 'great white north', where it gets cold during the winter, 
requiring greater caloric intake.  Those heftier members of the population 
also eat the most, hence removing them from, or perhaps moving them to, 
the food chain is a logical course of action.

It's just past 5PM.  Time to go home and see who the good wife is serving 
for dinner tonight...
