The remains may well be of the Ichneumon, which is a mongoose that is
native to Africa.  If you check through back issues of the FML (see the
archives URL at the top of this digest), you can find more information on
the Ichneumon.  Enjoy!
 
Re: Film for FerretWise
Cool! If I get any more of the Seattle Filmworks film I will definately
send it your way! I gave away what they sent me last time since my film
loyalties lie elsewhere. ;)

My condolences, Pam, on Rusty's passing.  One of my favorite ferret traits
is that eternal optimism.  It makes the ferret a true joy to be with and
I'm sure it makes Rusty all the more missed.

My kneejerk reaction to E.L.'s post was to post my objections to it.  Then
I thought better of it.  Why waste my time with a post that was obviously
going to evoke yet another wave of debate and derision?  I'd much rather
spend that time writing something more enjoyable to write and to read.  In
fact, I've had a ferret fairytale idea kicking around for some while now
and I'd love to find the time to commit the idea to paper, so to speak.
 
Since the FML is what we make it, post the type of article's you would like
to read.  If Mr. Lipinski's posts are not to your tastes, ignore them,
don't follow-up on them, and post something of the nature you would like to
see more of.  It's been my experience that that is one of the best way to
deal with trolls.
