Nothing. Nothing. And more nothing.

Hang on, I bought some new socks. And I went to the zoo. And I saw Ross Noble.

Ok, so I'm a liar. That shouldn't be a surprise by now.

All of that exciting stuff (yes, even the sock buying!) happened on Thursday. Sam was getting her car serviced, so we met in the city really early (about 9:30am - slightly early for me, super early for Sam), and went to the zoo.

Because we there so early, it was pretty cool for the first hour - no screaming school kids. I've been looking through the photos I took (all 318 of them - is that a little excessive?), and there seems to be a theme to some of them - Sam meets a cow, Sam meets a goat, Sam meets a rabbit, Sam meets Steve Irwin. Maybe I'll post a few if I get them uploaded before I finish with this.

( Hey look, photos! )

Then, other stuff happened, most of which I can't recall right now. Ross Noble talked about hilarious, nonsensical things, and then we went home. The End.

Except it's not, because I don't feel like ending there.

Here's a question: is it so strange to buy a David Bowie CD at the same time as a NoFX CD? You'd think I'd be used to the odd looks I get when I buy strange combinations of things, or borrow them from the library, but I still find it weird. So what if I like completely unrelated things? I'd get pretty bored if I always listened to the same sort of music, or read the same sort of books. Plus, I think the ladies at the library are snobby literary types, so they would probably look down on me no matter what I borrow. Well, I don't care. I like having unpredictable reading habits!

More questions!

Is the plural of Mongoose:
a) Mongooses
b) Mongeese?

According to some dictionary, it's both.

What is the collective noun for a group of Lemurs?

Well, this is boring. It's "group". Surely you can come up with something more interesting than that?

Anyway, I love collective nouns. I'm also amused by this:

Venery can refer to the following:

* The practice or sport of hunting game animals, or the wild animals so hunted.
* The practice or pursuit of sexual pleasure, or the indulgence of sexual desire.

See also

* Collective noun – terms of venery (words for groups of animals)
* Sexual intercourse

Words are fun!
