Inclusionary

Quote of the day:

I’m looking forward to the ACLU’s fight for the inclusion of sawhorses, seahorses, and pommel horses in the next running of the Kentucky Derby.

    I cannot, in good faith, support this.

    The AKC National Championship will also be including Oscar Mayer wieners and other frankfurter products.

    I guess I could add strawberries are berries, but most people think they are anyway.

    Thanks for teaching me that they’re not!

    I have a couple of birds that will turn the world of ornithology on it’s ear, since we’re being all inclusionary and shit. Maybe the folx at the ACLU can help if I show them the bird. :P

    Heh.

    If all birds are dniosaurs, then are ladybirds (American English: ladybugs) lady dinosaurs? But what if they’re trans?!

    I would just like to state for the record that ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS ARE NOT OYSTERS.

    @7 Exactly. Oysters should not taste like chicken.

    GW, always glad to help. My students sit in Botany class an entire semester with me, and still insist on making strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries into berries. But have no fear, blueberries are actually berries…and so are bananas.

    I thought bananas were actually a type of fish exploring a new evolutionary niche…

    GW: Of course, ladybugs are no more bugs than ladybirds are birds.And only some of them are ladies.

    @12 We are also being told that not all ladies are women, mostly by laddies who want to be ladies.

    And I daresay that none of them need rush home to rescue their children from housefires.
