He has, but this is no english class.
Nor a contest of typing, so I don't care a bit.
Anyone wanna take a guess on the biggest form ol' bart can take (e.g. elephant or larger...)

I did indeed. In the plural form, it would make much more sense to me using a "n". Thanks for correcting me, though. I actually like it.

I'd guess the Roc'd be the biggest flying thing, since I can't think of anything bigger than that that flys as well...
I'm doubt full of a Blue Whale, I'd say Killer Whale probably biggest sea, while African Elephant for land.
Any others?

Well, I agree with Dansariki. He might be able to assume bigger forms, but I think his essence would get a little... unstable.
Heh.

Yeah, more harder to control. Kitty couldn't even control a simple human form.

Ok.
How well do you think Bartimaeus did against the Assyrians in the Egyptian Wars way back when?
i.e. do you believe the descriptions of carnage?

:welcome:
For some reason, people think that Bartimaeus lies about his achievements like how he killed six djinn in one blow and his titles. And that he isn't as powerful as thought to be.
Or, they think his power decreases as he gets OLDER.
What the heck.
I just want you're opinion on this, and maybe your approval.
The worst thing about Barty is that, maybe he brags a little.
Which spirit doesn't?

No the longer he stays on earth hes weaker!!!DUH!!! :lol:
