Burmese Mountain Dog: A page (also from the creators of the Mankato, Minnesota page) with some info about a rare breed of dog known as the Burmese Mountain Dog. You can examine this a long time and potentially not realize the joke, which is that the actual breed is the Bernese Mountain Dog (it comes from Berne, Switzerland). I guess a lot of people say Burmese instead of Bernese.

It should be noted that USA Today made the same stupid mistake when it published pictures from the Westminster Dig Show in February. They labelled the picture of a Berner as a "Burmese Mountain Dog." I sent a correcting e-mail to the editor but never got a response. Typical.
Both seem to be lovely dogs for those with patience, discipline and and active lifestyle!
There is also another site, http://descy.50megs.com/akcj3/bmd.html that shows a completely different dog also identified as Burmese, but describes the color as brown with black patches, as shown in the photos on that site.
Then I noticed that both sites, the one with the black and white and brown ("don't shoot it down") "Burmese" and the "Burmese" that is brown with a black V on its chest, are suspiciously done in exactly the same typeface in the same size...busted!
Sure seems a silly thing to do a hoax about, but it's pretty well done. I want this guy on my team the next time we play "dictionary
The WKC doesn't even list a "Burmese", only a "Bernese".
What started this search was a conversation about my own dog, Rocket, who looks EXACTLY like the dog on the ".org" site. As far as I can tell, he is a Bernese/black Lab mix.

I found out that my dog, the one that looks EXACTLY like the one on the "50 foot up in a tree" site, is apparently Swiss Mountain dog (similar markings, shorter hair), with a few Labrador genes here and there.
Keep up the good work, and watch out for the arboreal skunks. I've seen a very few around here, and Rocket goes nuts when he sees one.
Academics are far more political and competitive than than acknowledged politicians. Someone was once asked about this aspect of academics, why they are so political, and the answer was given, "because there is so little at stake." I always enjoyed that.
In fact, they are two separate breeds probably
