(I did this!) 226 Then say that your brain isn't a tad rattled. Too bad there were no 227 animals in said film. A nice smart ferret would have spiced it up 228 immensly. I can see it all now! Back to the Ferret! A ferret driving a 229 grey car with a little fluxy thing in theback that some weird scientist 230 invented while hanging a clock! WOW! That's a prospect I'll send to 231 Stephen Speilberg. 232 Speaking of Speilberg, I have tested and analyzed and watched his fi 233 films innumerable times and I have come to a solid conclusion: 234 Stephen Spielberg is too intelligent to be a furless human! 235 he has to be one of us animals because everyone knows txat humans are 236 not the brightest things in the world and that us ferrets and otters and 237 dogs, cats, rats, mice, owls, etc are. 238 I suspect that a humans is POSING as Speilberg, and that the master 239 director is actually a wolf, ferret, or otter of some sort  because t 240 there is NO WAY that a human could think up those stories. It'S just not 241 possible. I mean, face the facts, humans. You are just plain morons. You 242 are weird and you do strange things like take HOT baths. Give me a cold 243 one any day. I realize txat we animals prefer cooler baths because we are 244 insulated from cold and we would fry if we took a HOT bath, but it seems 245 that you humans actually enjoy a hot bath. So strange. 246 Let's just get a grip on realityI should realize that I, being a fe 247 ferret (Yes! I'm a real honest fur covered ferret! U~derstand! A ferret!) 248 I should not be prejudice of you humans because you are furless save your 249 head. I am sorry. What do you all think on the subject of txose horrid 250 furless humans? Tell me this..this is very serious now and this question 251 has bothered me for a long time. If you are a human please answer it and 252 will be forever grateful. Here is the qustion: 253 254 I am covered from head to tail in white, brown, and black fur. It is 255 very comfortable and I could never live wituhout it.

It goes something like this: 510 In other words, txey know what'S important in life. Mabye they hhave 511 whiskers that grow sideways instead of down, and pags instead of palms, 512 and fur coats instead of skin, but they're still people! 513 (From Moment of the Magician by Alan Dean Foster.) 514 I think that shomld calm the storm that rages on in the Inn. Well, all 515 you, and I refrain from saying HUMANS and NON-HUMANS, but instead will 516 say people. What do all you people think.Does that settle the argument 517 aboout who is smarter or stronger? There is great diversification in the 518 world. We can benefit from eachother and others can benefit from us. We m 519 must only work towards a common goal. Well, humans and non'S? Are we 520 goino to bicker amongst ourselves or share our ideas and benefit from the 521 sweet fruit that will ripen when we work together. Pardon my preachings, 522 BUT DO YOU ALL AGREE WITH WHAT I SAID?? 523 MY MAIN POINT IS THIS. WE ARE NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT, SAVE PERSONAL 524 APPEARANCE AND OUR DIET PREFERANCES. WE ARE STILL BEINGS WITH A SOUL AND 525 ULD BE TREATED AS YOU W_ULD TREAT _NE OF Y_UR OwN KIND. DOES EVERYONE A 526 AGREE??????? 527 I still can't see how you live without furr though! 528 Zancresta the ferret! 529 "*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*" 530 Yeah. 531 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. 532 Dear Mr. Ferret, 533 I have made a detailed study of several of the species homo sapiens, and 534 have noticed something that you evidently have missed. Humans *DO* have 535 fur. The fur is really there, but in a very regressive state. If you look 536 closely, you will notice that all humans have small hair folicals literally 537 covering their body. This growth has been repressed, though, by the odd 538 assortment of cotton, wool, leather, and artificial woven fabrics. These 539 fabrics have been rubbing the skin for thousands of years, therefore some- 540 what elliminating the need for the original fur. Some sings to look for when 541 searching for human fur: 542 1) "pony tails" on pre-pubescent females 543 2) "pony tails" on post-pubescent 1960's holdovers 544 3) heavy facial hair on lazy post-pubescent males 545 4) acne (aka 'zits') in oil-filled follicals of pubescent humans 546 5) very small, blond hair covering most humans of scandinavian descent 547 6) pubescent and post-pubescent females shaving their hind legs 548 (gathering this data can be hazardous, as these females have been 549 known to throw scissors and heavy brushes at anything even 550 slightly resembling a peeping tom (and I've got the scars to 551 prove it!)) 552 553 There are other signs, such as over-use of tweezers on moles, large 554 eyebrows, etc., but I shouldn't reveal the full report here. Look for my 555 report in the next issue of "Scientific Australian", with helps from 556 Rocky Raccoon and Paul the Walrus. 557 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 558 ps What I can't understand is why they use and abuse many animals' skins 559 to make what is called 'leather'. I think this is a discusting habit, and 560 that something should be done. Nothing horribly militant, mind you, but to 561 at least get the message across. 562 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 563 "Then God said, 'Let us make a man--someone like ourselves, to be the master 564 of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.' 565 So God made man like his Maker. Like God did God make man; 566 Man and maid did he make them. And God blessed them and told them, 567 'Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; you are masters of the fish 568 and birds and all the animals. ...' 569 570 So, as a Man, with all my God-given authority, I bid all you animals, 571 BEGONE!! 572 BEGONE FROM THE INN!! 573 BACK TO THE tanis WHICH SPAWNED YOU!! 574 BACK TO THE SLIME FROM WHENCE YOU CRAWLED!! 575 576 +DANTE- 577 578 [/] 579 ******************************************************The Unnatural************* 580 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@my hearts unhealthy@@@@@@ 581 Yes sports fans I am here at this lonly planet called earth to watch the 582 first anual "NUKE'EM TILL THEY GLOW" contest where the whole stinking planet 583 tries to blow each other off their side of the earth.

Another story enscribed to the page," 605 "Does that mean we can see what you keep in the outer places of your regal 606 estate? I mean, it would be rather nifty to see it all," Rattled the Odd One. 607 "Of course, in a moment. Firstly though, should I hire a scribe though? 608 I could get a lot of writing done that I hadn't been able to get to lately," 609 The Sage looked as if he had just discovered the way to solve every problem in 610 611 his ancient life. Which he hadn't, but he didn't know that, yet. 612 SageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageSageDratEnteRonlY 613 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 614 OK, Kim-Lee, OK.
