Did you know that the tortoise has the highest coefficient of wind resistance than any other animal, even the cheetah.
Even Duncan Goodhew is poor compared to the tortoise

it sort of proves that God has a sense of humour really

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 10:52

at Gods joke

but Duncan Goodhew and a tortoise in the seme sentence seems to make sense in a strange way..

JaxTellersOldLady · 27/05/2010 10:53

OldMAC how do you know this? Wanna be in my pub quiz team?

dinkystinky · 27/05/2010 10:56

Lol.

David Cameron reminds me of a gerbil - maybe he's Dave....

OldMacEIEIO · 27/05/2010 10:58

I made it up.
especially the God bit

nickelbabe · 27/05/2010 10:59

keith is definitely a hamster name.

i thought all gerbils were called arthur.

OldMacEIEIO · 27/05/2010 11:01

I know a gerbil poem

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 11:02

ROFL at guliable Pag

I am going to repeat the Duncan Goodhew tortoise fact to everyone I meet and put them on the Pag Stupid Scale

JaxTellersOldLady · 27/05/2010 11:04

lmao @ oldmac

OldMacEIEIO · 27/05/2010 11:04

soz Pag, I thought the whole thread was a joke.

a sort of 'redutio ad absurdum' vis a vis the dog-kicking thread

of course I could be wrong (i usually am)

nickelbabe · 27/05/2010 11:08

what's the gerbil poem??????
come on!!!!

OldMacEIEIO · 27/05/2010 11:12

possibly a good one for the dc

If you have a gerbil
and its nose is runny
dont think its funny
coz it's not

NobleFrangipani · 27/05/2010 11:14

I was hospitalised by a gerbil once. You Do Not Mess with them there rodents.

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 11:16

OldMac.. yep, I got the dog kicking vibe but still got completely enchanted by goodhew Tortoise link. Which ups the stupidity factor humungusly

OldMacEIEIO · 27/05/2010 11:19

I promise to try to invent one highly dubious fact every day, and try to make them funny

pagwatch · 27/05/2010 11:20

and I promise to believe them every time

bobbiewickham · 27/05/2010 11:20

Did it squeak in an aggressive way, a playful way, or a sexy way?

Because if it was being aggressive, you had every right to give it the Death Stare.

If it was being sexy, you should have winked at it.

And if it was being playful, you should have wrinkled your nose at it.

Alicetheinvisible · 27/05/2010 11:58

FFS you always gang up on me.

IMO Keith is definitely a hamster name and if you called your gerbil Keith it would always struggle with his identity in the rodent world. Such a middle class thing to call your gerbil something so pretentious

mummag · 27/05/2010 13:09

oh alice, (patronising pat on the head)bless you.

Alicetheinvisible · 27/05/2010 13:17

(passive aggressive)

shockers · 27/05/2010 13:46

You're all wrong.... Colin is a cat's name. No wonder the gerbil went for her, somewhere deep in it's subconcious, it was on the African plains and she was a wildebeest.

Give your gerbil a cat's name and you're asking for trouble

I'm pretty sure you could sue... they put your DD in danger with their irresponsible namimg.

Might I suggest Gunther, Gavin or George?

mummag · 27/05/2010 14:12

bless you too shockers, you know not of what you speak.
