    Bugger, I hadn't got this far before I posted.

      I tried to avoid answering

      Answer: "I am happy and confident with being a human and at the same time have a deep respect of all other species. I wouldn’t dream of aspiring to be another animal as that would mean to one species is more desirable than another and that is just plain wrong as we are all equal."

      However, my answer would be "If you are going to ask stupid questions like that then this is definitely not the sort or organisation that I want anything to do with. Goodbye."
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        "Have you got any experience with web technologies?"

        asks an interviewer after we had been discussing, well, web technologies for 1/2 hour. I reply

        "About ten years"
