Below is a letter sent to Wolfy, too: Okay, okay, I have wattles AND I waddle! I can't fly, though -- SIGH. Maybe I should hang weights on my wattles and see if I could get them long enough to be wings, but I can't run for a take-off. I know! I could take a flying leap... (Like I haven't had a few people tell me to do that before, even before I had wattles! LOL!)

FIBBER! :-P I have NO recollection of looking that up so YOU must be the guilty party! Bwaaaha! Hey, Wolfy, where is the largest fungus in the world? (And don't tell me I am sitting on it; we had that discussion yesterday, my friend.) I want to fly! The only flying I do now is through web-searches and text searches (no lumshivaks and no point rolls though it can feel like them -- to me at least -- when it gets good enough). Finding what I seek is like an inverted ribbon cut! LOL! (Okay, I really don't fly, but we love air shows and the late Leo Loudenslager kindly took out a copy of our condo mortgage in his inverted ribbon cut at the 20th Sussex Airshow in upstate NJ in 1992.) http://www.icasfoundation.org/hall_fame/1998/hf_loudenslager.htm So, I don't really know a lot; I just know how to look it up! Let's see: http://biology.about.com/library/bldyknow101899.htm says >Did you know that... >the Humongous Fungus is the largest fungus in the world? It spans about >40 acres and weighs over 11 tons.

I look it up! I spend hours each day searching things down. Up, down... That's all there is to it. Oh, Wolfy, don't look sad. It's okay. Really. 'Cause since I can do it so can anyone else which means that anyone who puts in the time searching for ferret information can get it and that is a wonderous, magical thing which helps all ferrets and all ferret people! Want me to post some useful ferret links again? [Posted in FML issue 4805]
