I didn't see it personally...my little sister came running in here and
asked me "what family are ferrets, skunks, and otters from?"  I told her
the mustelid family.  she came back a second later and told me that wasn't
one of the choices, then told me what the choices were.  The weasel family.
Heh.  I call my fuzz-butts weasels all the time.  People look at me weird
when I tell them I have two weasels.  One of the hazards of being owned by
ferrets, I guess...
