DOMESTICATION - For those of you still debating the domestication thing, I
thought you might find this interesting.  It came from a friend who sent me
one of those "50 Facts I Bet You Never Knew" lists.  He doesn't know where
it originated so I guess there's no way of verifying it.  But I was kind of
amused..
 
>13. In the last 4000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
 
I think people just go through encyclopedia-type books to find this stuff
(one was that February 1965 was the only month in recorded history without
a full moon -- to be untrue this month.  There will be no new moon this
February.)  Anyway, sorry to digress.
 
I only glanced over the ferret domestication arguments a few days back, so
I don't know what the final concensus was.
 
GIZMO - Also, thanks to those who have responded so far about Gizmo.  I'll
write you personally too after tonite.  Giz is going to the vet to get
checked.  Sheesh, after a lymphoma scare in October & a vet visit then,
you'd think we'd be OK for a little while.  I guess Giz must like those
cold hard tables. :-)  Wish us luck!
