Paul BunyanImagine, if you can, the
excitement that was caused by the birth of Paul Bunyan! It took
five giant storks, working overtime, to deliver him to his
parents.
He cut his teeth on a peavy pole and grew so fast that after one week he had to wear his father's clothes. His lungs were so strong
that he could empty a whole pond of frogs with one "holler".

following the night of the meteorites, which can’t be a coincidence. They came in
something. Things fell to earth around there in the wee hours, and from those something alien
hatched.
