Did Frankenstein have a tail?

[atomic-fly]

I was discussing this with my coworker and
he said Frankenstein had a tail.No way I said:"What...Frankenstein
didn't have a tail, that was wolf man".

Now Dracula did have a tail.That's a fact. Bat's gotta have a tail
so they don't flip over and all when they're flying.

1. Dr. Frankenstein had no tail

nor did his creation

[Lautremont]

2. I think when Lon Jr. played him he had a tail.

[trof]

5. Coattail. But no 'tail' tail.

[mitchum]

31. LOL!!!

[atomic-fly]

8. now what's this...maybe my coworker aint so dumb

Dracula: Tail
Wolfman:Tail
Frankenstein:No Tail
Monster: No Tail/
Lon Jr. Monster: Tail
Creature from the lake:Tail and fins and gills

[Lautremont]

16. No, he's still wrong!

Just me making an obscure Lon Chaney Jr. joke - so obscure I'm the only one who gets it. I just think of jr. as kind of, well, proto-human. No Frankenstein Monster I know of had a tail. This would have required special tailoring on the part of the good doctor.

[mitchum]

30. I got it...and I thought it was pretty damn funny!

well done :)

17. BATS AREN'T BUGS!

(old Calvin and Hobbes line)

Bats have tails, but only little bitty ones, and they're not to keep them from flipping over :eyes:

That said, "Dracula" doesn't have a tail, any more than he has wings. Except when he's a bat. One might as well say "Wolfman doesn't have facial hair, because when he's a human, he doesn't"

Dracula: No Tail

(pretty sure Wolfman doesn't have a tail either)

[atomic-fly]

21. that can't be right

O know the creature must have a tail, how's he
gonna swim an all with out one.

I still say Dracula needs a tail...for balance.

[atomic-fly]

3. I knew that block head had no tail.

So the doctor is Frankenstein and the monster is what? Monster aint got no name?

[kay1864]

4. Nope.

Just "Frankenstein's monster"

[trof]

6. But Igor called him 'Boopsie'.

[billyskank]

13. Nobody is acknowledging your point

So I will. :thumbsup:

[Kutjara]

24. Another one as pedantic as myself.

It does my anal-retentive heart proud. :hi:

[XNASA]

7. Frankenstein got a lot of tail.

"Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee"

[atomic-fly]

9. That is the truth

[underpants]

10. When were YOU ever a goalie in the NHL?

Bob Newhart says he heard that in a conversation between two "bums" back when he was an accountant in Chicago. Oh the things people can over hear...

"So you are saying that Frakenstein DIDN'T have a tail?"
:rofl: :bounce:

too funny

[atomic-fly]

12. I say no! except for the Lon Jr. that might have had one. My list so far.

Dracula: Tail
Wolfman:Tail
Frankenstein:No Tail
Monster: No Tail/
Lon Jr. Monster: Tail
Creature from the lake:Tail and fins and gills

[NewWaveChick1981]

11. Of COURSE he did. How else could he swing from tree to tree?

:rofl: OMFG.... :yoiks:

[atomic-fly]

27. good point

[atomic-fly]

14. oh crap

[Goblinmonger]

15. OK, I'll be the retentive English teacher

Frankenstein was the name of the doctor. The monster had no name; it is just Frankenstein's monster.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. No. Frankenstein was a normal human being.

No tail.

The monster, perhaps, though the book never makes mention of a tail, so I vote that the monster did not have one, either.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

19. Strictly speaking...

.... Frankenstein had no tail... but he tailed his monster...

[Deep13]

20. Frankenstein chased tail.

That's different.

[bridgit]

22. no...but he had a tale to tell...

:rofl:

[Guy Fawkes]

23. Frankenstien did have a tale!

It was pretty good, too.

[KFC]

25. The original Frankenstein (monster) did indeed have a tail

Mary Shelley was tipping the hat to human evolution. I think the tail came from a dog.

[atomic-fly]

26. uh oh...

might need to update my list.


Dracula: Tail when in bat form to keep from flipping over in flight.
Wolfman:Tail
Dr. Frankenstein:No Tail but chased tail
Frankenstein Monster: No Tail or maybe dog tail
Lon Jr. Monster: Definite Tail
Creature from the lake: Tail,fins and gills
Mummy:Maybe had a tail

[KFC]

28. Decent list, but

If the Mummy ever had a tail it would have fallen off. He was like half dirt and could not support the weight of a decent tail.

[atomic-fly]

36. I see where your going...

maybe no tail for the mummy.

[wildhorses]

29. Dr. Frankenstein had a tale to tell about a monster that had

a dog's tail...okay, got it:eyes:

[YDogg]

32. How about a belly button?

:shrug:

[KFC]

33. The original Frankenstein had a belly button

Along with the tail. Mary Shelley was quite specific that Frankenstein had a tube on. That doesn't make him a monster.

[raccoon]

34. Do you mean the monster or Dr. Frankenstein? nt

[El Fuego]

35. Dr. Frankenstein had a vestigial tail.

[LostinVA]

37. No, he was created from HUMAN bodies n/t
