Not quite sure this is true. There are many animals found only in North America and Australia that now have domesticated cousins.
Check this out about words that don't rhyme

Kent, if you have any trouble getting the good stuff, send me an email. Stay away from the Wally-World (and similar) offerings. It's not effective and the delivery device is usually a piece of junk. One time several of us tested a waste basket full of these oh-so-cute canisters that had been confiscated from air travelers by the TSA. About 70+% would not even spray anything, and the ones that did still were only a slight annoyance...might have stopped a gerbil in it's tracks but probably not a hamster.

GG???
Woman blink twice as much as men, and all this time I thought they were winking at me.
Thanks for the laughs,

For you the 'fact' isn't true. You look pretty harmless.

The gals at the pub may argue that point?
But they will tell ya I'm polite while being who I am. :woohoo: That's why they love me. :silly:

I'll take the China one. Okay now, 5280 feet in a mile, space each row 3 feet apart, that's 1760 rows per mile, 8 in a row comes out to 14080 Chinamen per mile. Walking at a casual rate of 4 miles per hour that's 56,320 Chinese pass you every hour. With a population of roughly 1,330,044,544 people it would take the current living population just about 23,616 hours or 984 days to pass you by. A little over 2 years, 8 1/2 months. When you compare the birth rate to the death rate you get China's current population growth of 10.4 per 1000 per year, that's an additional 37,209,326 people to account for, adding an additional 27.5 days to the parade. During that 27.5 days you can expect 2,803,442 little comrades to be born extending the parade yet another 2 days, 2 hours and 47 minutes.
Tell ya what, we'll even give the stragglers an extra week to finish cleaning up the afterbirth and march down your street, it'll take about 2 years and 10 months. Far friggin cry from eternity. -

John Hartford did "the washing machine song" among some other things, Most every word sounded like purple.

i was replying to CW.
he had something incorrect in his post, i commented on it, and when i pointed it out, he went back and changed it. then acted like it was there all the time. he's done it a couple times before. incapable of admitting error.

love it, man. i get three emails a day from some guy that just keeps forwarding "interesting stuff" all day every day. half of it is utterly bogus.
yes, entertaining. but valueless, because it's filled with errors.
i appreciate the guy sending me emails, but sheesh. a little critical thought every now and then to separate the wheat from the chaffed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
that's not what you originally typed....ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante
