    • Girrafes, Not On Unicycles

      Monday, 08 Sep 2008 - 10:32 UTC

      My colleague Ms M de J of Ventura, CA, sent me this adorable photo of girrafes giraffes (from sfgate.com, I tried to link to the actual site, honest, but she no work)

      As ever, the best caption will win the coveted Order Of The Unicycling Girrafe (OOFTUG).

          Not a caption but an observation. The two big giraffes only appear to have 6 legs between them. Conjoined ungulates.

          You’re very good with plasticine, aren’t you Gerald? You can’t tell it isn’t real until you touch it.

          Junior, I told you that if you continued to misbehave, you’d get a licking as soon as your father got home from work.
