Vote here for Archimedes

Archimedes from Sword in the Stone

Archimedes surprised everyone as a walk on to the semi finals. With a surprising upset he beat all comers in points gained. Let's see if this pint sized prodigy can secure a victory here in the finals.

Archimedes is known for being somewhat grouchy and sarcastic, especially in the morning. He also has a pompous streak, and is easily offended. Though he is loyal to Merlin, he is not afraid to point out the Wizard's shortcomings and often does. He is, however, very well educated, and possesses a great deal of practical knowledge. Though at first he is haughty and dismissive to Arthur, he slowly warms to him as he helps Merlin educate him, and eventually becomes a devoted and loyal friend, even staying by his side after Merlin blows himself to Bermuda.

I guess I should post up my final Halftime fictional Owls.

Unless you're Sam Pilgrim. That dude will ride any bike down the gnarliest obstacles. A few months back he rode a bike made of bamboo that collapsed under him after going off a jump with it. The bike had only been ridden for about half a day.

Not a blimp. It’s a hybrid airship.

With all these extra owls that people are posting I just might. I didn't realize I'd left so many out.

Bubo’s entry is farther down the comments. He currently only has one upvote so if you would like to support him send some love his way.

Bubo the Owl from Clash of the Titans vs Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pops

Vote here for Mr. Owl

In the original television ad, a questioning boy (voiced by Buddy Foster) proposes the question to a cow (voiced by Frank Nelson), a fox (voiced by Paul Frees), a turtle (voiced by Ralph James) and an owl (voiced by Paul Winchell). Each one of the first three animals tells the kid to ask someone else, explaining that they would bite a Tootsie Pop every time they lick one. Eventually, he asks the owl, appearing wise, who offers to investigate. He starts licking the orange Tootsie Pop, but bites into it after only three licks. The child walks away, saying to himself, "If there's anything I can't stand, it's a smart owl." The commercial ends the same way, with various flavored Tootsie Pops unwrapped and being "licked away" until being crunched in the center with Herschel Bernardi asking, "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie pop? The world may never know."

Bubo the Owl from Clash of the Titans vs Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pops

Vote here for Bubo

Bubo was forged by Hephaestus and sent by Athena to aid Perseus in his quest to save the princess Andromeda in the original 1981 film.

After losing Athena’s helmet in Calibos’ swamp, Zeus orders Athena to give Perseus her owl, Bubo, as a replacement. She refuses, but agrees to have Hephaestus build a clockwork copy of Bubo to aid Perseus on his quest. Bubo helps him overcome numerous enemies, but not without a little fumbling on his part..

Owl from Winnie the Pooh vs Hedwig from Harry Potter

Vote here for Hedwig

Hedwig (d. 27 July 1997) was Harry Potter's pet female snowy owl. Hedwig was an eleventh birthday gift from Rubeus Hagrid to Harry. Hagrid purchased her at the Eeylops Owl Emporium.

In addition to delivering mail, the typical use owls are put to, Hedwig was also a close companion to Harry. She remained one of his closest friends right up to her death during the Battle of the Seven Potters at the height of the Second Wizarding War.

Owl from Winnie the Pooh vs Hedwig from Harry Potter

Vote here for Owl

Owl is an anthropomorphic owl who first appeared in Disney's animated short Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. Owl's character is based on the stereotype of the "wise old owl", though his "wisdom" is sometimes questionable.

Sounds like Poland is going to have to nationalize a train manufacturer.
