Just something funny I came across while flipping through my encyclopedia from 1975 (it was $5 for the whole set at a garage sale, gimme a break!) "FERRET: common name for a small weasel, related to the polecat...Even when born in captivity the ferret shows no affection for a master. It has been known to attack infants, and will kill poultry in great numbers, drinking the blood of the fowl it cannot eat..." Yeah, they're real vicious monsters.... [Posted in FML issue 4875]
