Ahh, what the hell. I'm in a good mood and protected by the cover of night. :ms_raccoon:

Ask me anything, even the awkward stuff. The only rules are:

1) If it's awkward, I reserve the right to answer in DMs.
2) If it's REALLY awkward, I reserve the right to lie! (I will caption such replies.)
3) Nothing deliberately cruel.
4) I end the queue when I feel like it.
5) PLEASE no inquiries pertaining to the Central Asian steel industry between 1997 & 2001. THIS IS FOR YOUR SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE.

@zebratron2084 There's two robotic gentlemen who want me to ask you how many "different kinds of fish" you can name.

@Soreth All of them. All fish. Except, due to a bewildering quirk of semantics and hypno-organic translation, the Babelfish.

Wait, what?

@zebratron2084 @Soreth wasn't the babelfish called that for marketing purposes just because of its superficial resemblance to an actual fish while actually being a silicon-based plant?

@kelseyhusky @Soreth That's a good question! I'm getting no support for it in a quick Google hunt, but that is not really strong evidence, and I could very easily see that being a bit of h2g2 canom I missed... Everybody refers to it as a fish, but could VERY easily be misinformation...

I might have to get some ocrs and do some skimming...

@zebratron2084 @kelseyhusky Hmmm... not that I recall, but I may have missed that somewhere. I'm fuzzier on the radio program, if it cropped up there amidst all the Lintillas I might not have noticed

@Soreth @zebratron2084 but it is telling that I was just plausible enough to send two people searching independently.
