Shouldn't Great Pyranees be acceptable as a large dog breed?

I hate to burst your bubble, but humans *are* apes.
The Hominidae (pronounced /hɒˈmɪnɨdiː/; anglicized hominids, also known as great apes[notes 1]), as the term is used here, form a taxonomic family, including four extant genera: chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, and orangutans.

Great Briton could also be a spelling

Except that Briton refers to the people, not the country, and they're not generally called 'Great Britons'.
I couldn't remember where great fit into the Mouse Detective... :(
Great quiz though, by the way!

Great Briton may refer, e.g. to a very large Englishman.

"Who are the Britons?" ..."We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your King." ... "Well I didn't vote for ya."...

Ah, I'm so angry at myself for missing great balls of fire - for some reason my brain decided to say goodness gracious in a Julie Andrews voice rather than a Jerry Lee Lewis voice. There's a hilarious and well-loved commercial in Australia where a father tells his son that the Great Wall of China was built by 'Emperor Nasi Goreng' to keep the RABBITS out :D ("too many rabbits, in China...") That prompt cracked me up =D

The famine was not an economic program, it only resulted from it.
