And a news story from last Monday

This tom got stuck and it took lifting the whole car to get it out (unharmed).

[Aggie]

Erm, does that shark mate with it's face?

Last _{clasper-breath} Post

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

That might explain it's eyes.

Last _{and atheism, for that matter} Post

[Swatopluk]

Maybe he just ate a prawn star

Last _{couldn't resist} Post

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

You couldn't, or it couldn't?

Last _{I though the dolphins were the only ones into voyeurism} Post

[Swatopluk]

...and therefore likely to be censured

Last _{ad usum delphini} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Dolphins are into far more than voyeurism.

Last _{beware the perv in the tank} Post

[Swatopluk]

I thought prawn was more for baleen whales

Last _{the tooth stands on the bottle*} Post

*I guess that sentence only makes sense in German and even then only for people of a certain age

[Sibling DavidH]

I've never heard of it, and my age is very certain.

Last _{what's it in German?  der Zahn steht auf der Flasche?} post

[Swatopluk]

German: Der Zahn steht auf der/die Flasche
with
Zahn(tooth) = attractive girl
Flasche(bottle) = loser
stehen auf (stand on)(+Akk not Dat) = to fancy, to like, to be fan of

Last _{in the navy 'to stand' is a verb of movement*} Post

*no joke, that's real and official. If a ship tries to stay in the same place in spite of currents and adverse weather using its means of propulsion intermittently it is called 'auf und ab stehen' (to stand to and fro).

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

We were talking about how aliens probably aren't anything like us, even though we often depict them so. Like, what if they're helium based? Or prawn based, like in District 9.

Last _{this lead to the idea of an alien shrimp balloon} Post

[Swatopluk]

Helium is about the only thing no natural lifeform could be built on/of in this universe (although neon could be tricky too).

[Sibling Qwertyuiopasd]

But they would have such funny voices!

Last _{how science works} Post

[Swatopluk]

Unfortunately they could not even have a voice, even if they could be made. Any other material and it could have a helium voice but not if made out of it itself.
