[lace] Re : Aardvark

2005-06-12 Thread Jeanette Fischer
The name has really been fascinating me.  I did not know that it was known
outside South Africa but see it is in the Oxford Dictionary.  Literally it
means Earth Pig and it is a nocturnal animal that eats ants.  Now where it is
the assosiation with a business that sells craft supplies that I cannot
understand- did they hunt down tasty morsels to tempt crafters?  Does anybody
know?

One possibility is that they chose a name that started with 'A' (in this 
case double 'A'), so that they are first in alphabetical listings (yellow 
pages for instance)


Just a suggestion, as I had never heard of them before.
