On Nature and its Wonderous Creatures

I realize the heading "More Information about Nature's Best Friends" might at first be confusing to some of you, as in all likelihood unless you spend a fairly specific two and a half hour period of the week with me you have not received any information about nature's best friends. I will explain this concisely now: in nature, the kookaburra and the koala are best friends, and have the best best friend relationship (inter-species or not) of any two-critters on earth*.





*Some (including myself) have considered that the friendship between cats and ducks (patos and gatos in Spanish-speaking locales) have a better best-friendship than the koala and the kookaburra. This is an issue too complicated to get into right now, suffice to say that the matter is not settled.

I know how revolting a habit this seems to a lot of people, and they're right - it is totally disgusting, yet still pleasant. It's like when I see a happy couple kissing or calling one another by pet-names in public: seeing them makes me sick, and yet if I were to ask them why they're doing something that I find absolutely nauseating to witness they would answer, "because it's nice." People not smoking cigars are hateful and lonely.
