Bippy:

Cite is: Welcome to the Yoga Jungle, Inside MS, Wntr, 2001, by Shoosh Crotzer. “Not very long ago, most Americans associated yoga with wiry old men in white loincloths who could wrap their heels behind their ears. Today, pop stars and talk show hosts tout yoga for everything from pimples to heart disease, while pictures of incredibly buff women and men in human pretzel positions have replaced that old guy in the loincloth. Plus, names are flourishing along with the hype: Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Power Yoga, Hot Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Flow Yoga, Kripalu, Kundalini.”

You knew 13-lined spermophile but not vole? :eek:

Yup, all rodents – no geographical intent, but I think they’re all North and South American, but that’s a result of the book I was using, probably.

I knew that a vole was a rodent. I just wasn’t sure if it was South American since I’ve seen them in my yard.
