Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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 wouldn't really be concerned until he starts asking for the cold-water swimwear.

They do have an annual Alcatraz swim...

But note that orcas are dolphins.
D'oh. But this makes me think of Peter Cook saying, "The whale is not actually a fish... it's an insect!"

But note that orcas are dolphins. Largest dolphin in the world, unsurprisingly.

I heart you.

I always get irked by the whale-ness. "They're dolphins, damnit!"

I knew they weren't whales! I swear! I just had them filed as "random other cool things" instead of specifically under "dolphins."

My classification system might need work, I admit.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

D'oh. But this makes me think of Peter Cook saying, "The whale is not actually a fish... it's an insect!"

And it lives on bananas!

We'll let you slide, this time, Strega.

Not at all, it's remarkably similar to mine, though I call it "random other cool knowledge". I shall now put everything interesting in a giant folder entitled "Things That ROCK!!!"

I think I'll just have "things that are whales" and "things that aren't whales."

I bet that's what whales do.

I think that, aside from their catchall 'Miscellaneous' category, they would need at least two other categories for "Things that are like ME!" and "Hey, I bet I could eat that!"
