Badge(r)

Some people worry that there is no universal tie-that-binds, and that the things that divide us are incapable of resolution. The people of the world have, if you will, irreconcilable differences which will keep ever warring, hating and killing.

But I have found the one thing that unites us*....

deep and unabashed love of the unverified enormous animal sighting

Apparently the British Army was yesterday forced to deny that it had deployed giant, man-eating badgers in the area surrounding Basra.

Some Basra locals, however are of the belief that the British have released the animals to the area to spread panic. Some have reported the giant badgers tearing apart cows and stalking humans.

Scientists are quick to point out that the Ratel (or honey badger), is reasonably indigenous to the area (sightings have been common since 1986) and the honey badger isn't exactly small.

Wikipedia has the damn thing ripping the scrotums off humans - so don't fear the genetically engineered MI5 Badger, dudes - the real life Ratel is freakin' scary enough...if you're a bloke, that is. Women, clearly, have nothing to worry about.

Don't say I never give you guys anything to talk about.


PS people have started coming here looking for "dox" and "dog fox breed". Sad.


* It's not Dr Marten's boots, either.

I have a thing about the lochness monster. Does that count?

I think that can be counted towards the sum total of human inter-connectedness, yes.

By a strange coincidence, Honey Badger is also my sister-in-law's name.

Which explains the mysterious absence of cows last time we visited.

I won't make any jokes about you having to watch your scrotum when you're around your sister-in-law, I'm Not Craig. You have no doubt already thought of and dismissed the ones I might come up with.

You are quite right, Gigglewick. I and as far as I can tell everybody I know love large animal sightings. I also love Young Ones references. I haven't sighted any of those for ages. Thank you.

Snoskred,

I know. Curse them!

INCraig,

Please tell me you have never referred to your SiL as "honey badger", at least not to her face.

Harpo,

Stay tuned - there's heaps more where that came from, I DON'T think.
