>>Veterinarian Elliot Katz, speaking before the city's Commission of Animal Control and Welfare, specifically compared the term change to the struggle to end human slavery as well as the women's suffrage movement.<<
A veterinarian called 'katz'? Is this a joke? Probably not. Here in Catalonia, the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries is called Sr. Peix. 'Peix', as Big Walt knows ;-) is 'fish' in Catalan. And the word 'pet' in Catalan means 'fart' in English. And the word 'fart' in Catalan means 'tired of ' or 'fed up with'. And those of you who have been to see the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona will have passed a restaurant called Ca'n Fart. (Casa de Fart in Spanish) It always gets a laugh out of the Brits who come to see the race. They queue up to take photos, but then brits were always crazy about fart jokes, as well as jokes based on other bodily functions. I wonder why. I liked Julius' synchronicity story, and Colin's too.
