    I'm afraid of Camels. Don't know why... I've always been fidgety around Camels and Llamas, maybe its the whole spitting thing.

    I'd like them in MTW2, dammit! We'll see who's boss when those puny Crusaders realize they're facing giant camels the size of elephants!

    Isn't that a dromedaris instead of a camel? Or are all such animals called camel even if one species has one lump and the other two?

    There ain't no such thing as "a dromedaris". It are all camels. WE are all camels. Even the trees are camels.

    Camels, camels, camels! Camels everywhere.

    Serious now. In dutch there is a difference between a dromedaris (having one lump) and a kameel (having two lumps). Is there no such difference in the English language?

    Sure the Inuit have maybe 50 different words for snow, but why should we Belgians and Dutch have a better lingual system to differentiate (real word?) between a certain sort of animal than the Anglo-Saksons?
