    ......



    By some weird coincidence, I have been thinking of starting a thread called '10 stages that make you realise you are a man and not a kid any more'
    and number 10 is round about the 45 yr mark


    1. The first time some kid calls you mister
    2. The first time you voluntarily go to bed, because you 'have to get up in the morning'
    3. You see something out of the corner of your eye. It's your broadening shoulders
    4. You realise that birds are not angels brought from heaven, just blokes with smaller willies
    5. You realise that if you met you ten years ago you would punch you
    6. Someone f@rts and you dont laugh
    7. You refuse a drink, because you have had enough of hangovers
    8. You never let a boner go to waste
    9. Slippers aren't so bad after all
    10. Somone dies and you look around the familiy to see who the new role model is. and it's you.

    People who have heart transplants and stuff sometimes take on characteristics of the donor. I don't think it's been explained and is usually put down to a coincidence brought on by the trauma of surgery etc. But if cells have some sort of 'memory' it would make sense - especially if the tiger ate your brain. A tiger with OCD - there's a worrying thought!
    Alas Howletts seem more worried that the tiger may memorize eating people - they have already lost a few keepers.

    I shall probably stick to being buried beneath a sapling. But I want to become old enough to get revenge on my kids by becoming a burden to them first.

    I just hope they make sure I am very dead first.

    They are big but very very sticky. I once fed giraffes at some theme park in Florida. It is worse than feeding a cow by hand which is bad enough.

    Not sure I would want to be born a giraffe though. A 6 foot drop to the ground upon entry is not the best way to arrive.

    So you've been licked at Whipsnade as well?

    So, back to the Giraffe. What's that going to do for you?

    Endless life of trying to find tall trees or looking a bit silly as you reach the ground?

    Fair point. I'll be a giraffe then.

    The rest of me, they can eat.

    At an atomic level, we all get recycled anyway.
