So my mother had a phone conversation recently with one of her younger sisters, who mentioned that an animal had chewed off the bark around the base of one of her trees. She said the animal had a tail, maybe about 6" long.
This aunt is insisting the animal was a hedgehog.
...a hedgehog.
A. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog.
.........NO. ASFSDKFSKDFKSDFKJK.
She. She says it was a hedgehog because she looked in one of her grandkids' books of nursery rhymes and saw a picture and I DON'T FUCKING EVEN KNOW, HEDGEHOG WTHIF. I just. I just. I AM RELATED BY BLOOD TO THIS WOMAN.
My and Mom's theories, btw, would be potentially beaver or maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu. Yeah, I know I have a BS in biology and had some ecology classes back when, but I'm sorry, pretty much any junior high or highschooler could tell you the differences between a hedgehog and a beaver and how a hedgehog could NOT be chewing bark off a goddanged tree in stupid Nebraska. >.< HOW. Are people so stupid. And why is it someone related to me. ARGH. I just. ARGH.
My mother tried to convince my aunt otherwise, but eventually let the subject drop. : / I would not have been so nice. I probably would have yelled at the woman to get some real research materials and not relied on a *kids' nursery rhyme book* and OMGWTF the world is in the state it's in right now because of people like her ARGH is she seriously *stupid*?. Wharrgarbl.
I know I tend to consider myself pretty unintelligent. But I guess I can tell myself I'm not like that. And if I'm ever like that? Put me out to pasture. Seriously.
Though maybe I'm a dumbass in my own ways, because in WoW news I've started a couple new hordeside alts during this deguilded raiding break--Jhayred the mage and Padalecki the rogue. >_> Way to go, self.
