World of Warcraft: "They Hibernate?"

Before anyone says a freakin word...YES! I know Pandas do NOT hibernate!
Their diets are not high enough in fat to sustain them through a hibernation period like a regular bear. But, Gage's joke idea was funny enough that I forgave him for his oversight. So, I beg your understanding and ask that you not give him too much crap. Besides... who knows, maybe Pandarens, unlike their real world animal counterparts, might have high fat diets and pass out for a few months when the weather turns cold.
Anyway, when Bloodelves were announced for the Horde a lot of people were hoping for Panderans would be the "large size/monster" race added to the Alliance's roster. And, where I'd love to play a Pandaren myself, I'm kinda glad they didn't go in (on either side). I have the distinct feeling that they would have been unbalancing in favor of whichever faction that were added to. That's just my personal feeling though, and I know there are a wealth of people out there that are already shaking their heads in disagreement, even as they begin typing their response.
At any rate, I still think Gage's notion as to why the Pandarens didn't make it in was clever.
(I added the reference to Jeff in there myself though. Nothing personal Tiggs!)

On a side note, I've been busy with GU related projects that I hope you guys will get to enjoy soon. So, as some of you might have noticed, I've been relying on joke idea submissions to get me through. And, It makes life so much easier knowing that they're there.
So yeah... Thanks again Gage!
