    A friend of a friend posted a picture of a fox in England, with a dead cat in its mouth. It was a reaction against people who dislike fox hunting, which has been banned for a while. One of the comments was 'See, foxes aren't nice cuddly animals, they're evil!' which struck me as a particularly stupid anthropomorphism, particularly if you've ever watched a cat play with a mouse.

    Anyway, to digress, I'm with Oscar Wilde regarding British fox hunting - 'The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable'.

    I was only joking

      Ever kill a cow with a sledgehammer?

      I have.

      Tim wouldn't like me.

              Will I look like an idiot if I ask who Tim Urban is?

                Not at all. As near as I can determine he is a 7th place American Idol finalist. In other words, nobody.

                      His ‘wait but why’ blog has had some epic entries. We’ve talked about some over the years.

                        Personally, I prefer to be called Tim Urbane. It's like Brown and Browne, but it's important.
