For those who missed the popular culture (and, yes, some science enters popular culture and even survives it) refs in my joking email: 1. Alex and I have long standing FML jokes about taxonomy, cats, and flat Earth Scenarios 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpants_Gnomes and http://www.southparkstudios.com/ 3. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/magnetic/ 4. http://www.douglasadams.com/ and http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/hhgg.html 5. the written works on Pan paniscus of Frans de Waal 6. FML jokes on FLO (Ferret Liberation Organization) extend back enough years that I don't even recall when they began, ditto FML jokes on teleportation and on flying saucers Jokes on the FML can get pretty convoluted; be careful to not blink. -- Sukie (not a vet, nor a solar wind expert, but who did work and play with some Pan troglodytes for several years, and whose TV time is freed up for Nova and animation due to watching no sit coms or reality shows) Ferret Health List co-moderator http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth FHL Archives fan http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org International Ferret Congress advisor http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 5025]
