Thumbs up

Oh, that is sweet, Derek. Thanks. By the way, this guy will be in the next update of the DRI, hopefully roling out this week-end.

Derek knows this, but others might be interested in the tiger canine story. The tiger is a feared, yet revered animal in Burma. The mythical progenetor of the Burmese people is a white tiger, and the Kachin at least appeal to the spirit of the white tiger of the jungle for assistance in particularly imporant matters or dire situations. In Thailand (and probably elsewhere), a tiger's fang has a talismanic, protective power. So its use as a handle will protect the wearer from harm.
