Actually there's a correllation between low birth rate and absence of predation -- there's a natural selection mechanism in place to make sure that pandas don't end up ruling the world, basically. Or at least stripping the bamboo forests clear.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

ION, A Sottish distillery hopes to produce world's most alchoholic whisky:
An ancient recipe is to be used by Bruichladdich to distil with an alcoholic content of at least 92% on Islay in the Western Isles.
Managers at the firm believe it will be akin to a drink described 300 years ago by seventeenth-century travel writer Martin Martin.
"Although Martin's note hints at the dreadful consequences of sipping more than a teaspoonful, this will, I hope, have very floral qualities to it. Despite the high alcohol content, you know it's whisky."

They totally could. That incredible cuteness, combined with occasional carnivorous behaviour? Yikes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's odd. Is he single?

Yeah--she spotted him going into a drugstore, so she went in to find him, and boom! Durex shopping. Her plans to strike up a conversation with him were killed quite dead.
Is he single?
IMDB says no.

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

He'd hardly need condoms then, what with the disinterest.
