Just imagine... maybe all those fairy tales do have some true background after all.

Next they'll be finding elves and dwarves

Well, They Might Be Giants will likely have to change their name. Or break up. Or something.

I hate to break anyone's ego but basic physics tells you why giants can't exist. Ask one of the many physicists on these boards why. And yet you still try to poke fun at us. We do have some rights you know.

It's not fair, or right.

Yez are all a buncha homms

And undergrown homms at that.

They only imply that a fictional 'they' may or may not, in fact, be giants. I think they did their homework. Or else they planted this thing themselves, just like the Caucasian mummies in Asia.

A real giant would have proportionately thicker bones, like an elephant, in order to support all that weight.
