"Hunting humans, the most elusive prey."
Hell no! They are all over the place.
My favorite hunting area is downtown. I sit in my van blind and use my human call.

Thanks, Teadrinker 5. I hadn't a clue to the meaning of his name. Now I understand his attitude much better.

Teadrinker 8, 'glans' is Latin for acorn. It also meant the lump of lead or hardened clay hurled with a sling, i.e. an ancient bullet. When the Renaissance anatomists found discrete lumps of tissue in animals, they called these lumps 'glandes' (plural of 'glans'), from which we get 'glands'. Lastly, they applied this name to a part which they thought resembled an acorn.

You actually took the time to register an account to write that?
What's next? A job as Charlie Sheen's intern?

Dude, I know glans is Latin for acorn. I speak French fluently. It's also the French word for acorns.
PS. And, yes, glans is called just that because it looks like an acorn.

Teadrinker…
The funny part is that I didn't write it.
It was actually there. I almost shyt myself laughing when I read it.
Karma in action.

Teadrinker 11, maybe 'glans' is quebecois dialect, but Google Translate says the word is 'gland' with a D on the end. French nouns usually come from the latin accusative (with loss of final M), not the nominative. So 'acorn' is 'gland' (from 'glandem'), not 'glans', in standard French.
Thanks to ChickenHead, I now know what a teadrinker is. I learn from those whose thinking is different from mine.

1) I am not a Quebecker.
2) Not slang. Regardless of spelling (it was a typo), it's the same pronunciation. A final d and s are silent in French.

Teadrinker 14, would these sentences sound the same?
1. Le gland est à toi.
2. Le glans est à toi.

Kangaji,
Here is my favorite joke/trick in Korea. I made it up about 15 years ago… but I'm sure others must have come up with it… although nobody I have shown it to has seen it before. I'll let everybody here know it.
Write these words in English on a piece of paper and have your Korean friend try to pronounce it. Laugh at them and encourage them to keep trying.
ILL HY HL
"Ill hie heul," they will say.
After their feeble attempts, shake your head, pick the paper up, look at it, sneakily turn it upside down, put it back, and say, "What's your problem? Try again."
Anybody seen this before?
Report back to me on the success of this joke if you choose to try it.

awesome!

Yes, they would, although one is misspelled. S and D in the last position are both silent in French. They would both be pronounced if they were followed by an E. Grand (silent), grande (pronounced). Remis (silent), remise (pronounced).
