I always liked the classic Universal Pictures' "Dracula" because Bela had armadillos roaming the castle. I kid you not...the proof's on the celluloid. As for the original topic, I would merely note that the French, while gaining a worldwide rep for rudeness, are also the first to complain about anything negative about them or their culture. They bemoan EuroDisney while passing laws requiring all internet content to be published in French (no cultural imperialism in that idea). Finally, I can only imagine what word got translated into "basket of cat."
