Also I am a genius. Thus the only conclusion is that of independently inspired genius. I actually started off trying to base the size of the bag on the area below a man's neck and above their pelvis but then realize that didn't work either. Grizzly bear head is just perfect. As to the version for a very attractive woman, that would be unpublishable*. *Unpublishable should be read as "likely to be included in our next version".
