Tapirs are not anteaters, man. What gives?

Choop is needling me. Don't pay him any mind.

I don't know what tapir tastes like, but Wikipedia says that in Japanese folklore, tapirs can eat people's dreams. I need to know if this is true, why should I trust some random guy writing a Wikipedia article?

if people assume this from the start everything makes a lot more sense

It seems to me that that this truth self-evident, whether in folklore or not.

The wiki doesn't seem to have any citation for that, but it does cite this:
http://www.igorilla.com/gorilla/animal/tapir_attack_in_Oklahoma_City_PartTwo.html

I saw that! It's from a whole website of animal attack stories that somehow I had not come across before. It is not updating anymore, but it may be highly useful to me. My World Tapir Day present!

I bet tapirs are delicious, just like the pigs they are not cousins too.

You would have liked the episode of "No Reservations" where Tony goes to Ecuador, and they gruffle up some roasted guinea pigs.

I saw that one. It looked like they were mostly bones. It makes more sense to eat a capybara.

Good God, how many people are going to ruin my Tapir Day by posting that photo of Brian Gratwicke? If I wanted annoying people who work for the zoo in my face every day, I'd still be working there.

how long have you been holding on to that?

[wombat]

how long have you been holding on to that?

Just since yesterday, fortunately.

Really, is nothing safe on the internet? Think how you would feel if you were innocently checking Cute Overload for pictures of cute animals and you found a photo of an irritating co-worker. It's just not fair.

He does look pretty irritating. One of those over-eager, hyper-enthusiastic sorts.

I know it's wrong, but every time I hear "capybara" I immediately think "chupacabra" and have to mentally correct myself.

[Carlos del Vaca]

My oldest daughter always wants to argue over the correct pronunciation of "capybara."  What are you, a zoologist?  No, you are 6.  You don't know any better than I do.

Wow, I thought he was just some kid. He looks like a teenager.
