...the size of a jelly bean at birth with no legs!!!!! Soooo little. Are they technically still incubating in the pouch then? I know what I'm procrastinating with today!!
@elliebean: Yep. Marsupials hail from an earlier branch of gestational mammalian development. It's a nice compromise between uterine development (which can be rough on mom) and infant development (which is frequently complicated for the infant).
Ever since watching the World of Mammals documentary series with David Attenborough, I've been a little obsessed with monotremes (platypus and echidnas) and marsupials. They're sooooooooooooo werid... and adorable!
Human babies fill me with fear and loathing. But animal babies make me want to be an animal mommy. I think I was mistakenly given the biological clock of another species—maybe a poodle. Which means there could be a poodle out there who desperately wants a human child of her very own…
@Kivrin: A poodlebaby for you, as long as I get my kittenbaby. It's just what I've always wanted. And if a kittenbaby isn't possible, then a giant-wad-of-moneybaby would also be welcomed.
Garrett: Steve, would you be happier if your wife gave birth to a baby or a kitten?
Steve: A kitten, of course.
Garrett: That’s the right answer. Next question, what would you do if your wife gave birth to a baby made of chocolate?
Steve: "You’ve made me the proudest father in the world… CHOMP!"
I always had a secret hope that Rabbit would one day catch Tigger and beat the every living shit out of him. I was a hyperactive child and even I thought Tigger was a fucking pita. And the time Pooh went and stole Rabbit's honey? I was heated .
@battleaxonista: WTF? Tigger runs circles around that crabby old rabbit! Rabbit's a fussy bachelor and couldn't beat the crap out of Tigger if he tried. Tigger FTW! *wink*
@TheJacqueline ValJean: My husband and I have a restaurant. We occasionally serve kangaroo. It's one of those things where people insist they won't like it, but they always do. It's one of the most delicious flavors.
@ASmallTurnip: Did you hear how the only pig in Afghanistan (in the Kabul Zoo) has been isolated due to swine flu fears? For some reason this seriously cracked me up.
Am I the only one who thought all the Winnie the Pooh characters were a little fucked up anyway? Pooh is a compulsive overeater (eating honey until you're too fat to leave Rabbit's burrow is a problem), Tigger has ADHD, Eeyore is clinically depressed and Rabbit is obsessive-compulsive. Christopher Robin needs to put his animal friends on some meds, yo.
@HollyGodrunkly: @AuntieEm (robots from the year 2000 > zombies) : If you haven't done so already, you should find a copy of Dorothy Parker's review of "House at Pooh Corner." It's outstanding. "It is that word 'hummy,' my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up."
She reviewed another A.A. Milne play (I can't remember the name) and I laughed so hard reading the review that I cried.
@willwriteforfood: I respectfully disagree! Kanga didn't even notice when Piglet was put in her pouch in lieu of Roo at first. And think about all the times Roo ventures out to hang with the others sans Kanga. I've always thought Kanga was a little permissive. In any event, watching her sing the lullabye song to Roo makes Little P all dreamy.
