You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
ARE there adorable snakes?
Are there ones that aren't?

Naked mole rats are made of awesome. But when I was six and a group of psychologists stuck myself and two of my brothers in a room and told us each to draw our family, I drew the life cycle of the echidna. (My older brother drew our grandmother playing rugby, my younger brother a bunch of unrelated people being eaten by a shark.) Echidnas and me, that's where the history is.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Besides, if your patronus was a naked mole rat people would be all... "what is that? a maggot?" "no, its got fangs" "so, like a vampire maggot?" "I think it's a naked mole rat" "So is it a mole or is it a rat?"
Which just doesn't inspire the necessary awe.

Unlike my echidna patronus, which is made of awesome.
Dementor 1: Wait, is that a hedgehog?
Me: Huh? No, it's--
Dementor 2: Porcupine, I think.
Me: Look, if you check the snout you'll see--
Dementor 1: Do you mean an African porcupine or a North American porcupine?
Me: No, look, it's not--
Dementor 2: What's the difference?
Me: The North American one has shorter quills, but it's not--
Dementor 1: I still reckon it's a hedgehog.
Me: Why would I have a hedgehog, you--
Dementor 3: No, wait, I think I know this one. It's an Australian, um, thing. They're all marsupials down there, right? What's the digging one?
Dementor 1: You mean a wombat? You think it's a spiky wombat?
Me: RIGHT, THAT'S IT, I'M-A KILL YOU ALL MYSELF!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Heh. I guess that makes my patronus an exploding penguin.
