Or Goose...
Had one chase me out of the front of a person's house walking home from school. That damn thing was scary and committed to it's cause. -
Definitely a Goose. Relentless in their attack.
The worst was at my Uncle Cecil's farm, when I walked into the barn and a mother sow ran after me with the most gut wrenching, high pitched squeal one would ever hear, whist running at me full tilt.
I cleared a 5 foot tall fence to get away from it. It's amazing what the body can do in situations like that!

DITTO !! I'm not afraid to admit that I had my a$& beat by a big Gander, WHO knew they could bite as well. I came around the corner of the barn and the goose was sitting on a nest of eggs. Before I could turn around that Gander came out of the sky and had me on the ground beating me with those 14' wings and biting about my face and neck. I was all of 5 or 6 yrs old.

I think I've told you about Baxter, a dog who was on the payroll at Genetics Institute to chase Canada geese away from our on-site pond. The geese ultimately got the better of poor Baxter, but he still spent the rest of his life on the job for GI and, later, Wyeth (who we ultimately became - until Pfizzer bought us, that is
).

Oh. sorry. This, too -- albeit 100% goose-free... from ASR.

While working at FedEx Express, one of our drivers encountered a flock of geese flying across the road by a pond shortly after he left the station. One hit the flat windshield breaking it and continued on, seemingly uninjured. The flock landed in a field alongside the road.
I drove another truck to him. A cop was there to make an accident report. With a serious face he asked the driver if he could identify which goose struck the windshield.

Chased by a BULL!
My cousins said to try to cross his pen. It's easy, they said. He's slow, they said. I was probably 10 to 12 years old.
I was fit, so I tried to run across the med.-sized pen.
BIG MISTAKE!
I barely made it to the other side!
If I had stumbled and fallen, that huge bull could've killed me with one stomp easily.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
We visited a cousin's farm when I was around ten. They got me to touch a fence. Fortunately, it wasn't set to "bull." They told me I was going to die, so I ran to my parents yelling I'm gonna die!

Oh yes! The sailors in the bow were lounging by the pool in deck chairs and sipping Mai Tais while watching the sailors in the stern shovel snow off the deck and joking about how they were still living in the past.

Worse....as a little t-u-r-d knocker (pre-first grade), I was told to stay in the house while my grandfather butchered a couple of chickens in the backyard.....well doggonit, I wanted to watch.

Well... January 1, 1900 wasn't the beginning of a new century.
Jan. 1, 1901 was, though.

Centuries can be described differently and not be incorrect. ie: the 1800s vs the 1900s is a different century. Some tradition has the 19th century to be the 1801-1900, 20th century starting 1901...
It does actually just mean 100 years. The gap from 1850-1950 can be described as "a century later" and be correct.
Regarding the SS Warrimoo, the modern consensus is that navigational accuracy wasn't good enough back then to determine location and time that accurately. It makes a good story though and it was popular all the way through the early parts of the 20th century...LOL. -
Yes, I'm well aware of the controversy Ada Lovelace is responsible for.
