(scroll down to "classification"....)

I used to like to tell people that "your Gramma was a gorilla" but now I can tell them "your Gramma was an amoebazoa." The search for God is over.
 
I kinda like Kashmir.  DbU is really hung up on the scrotum jokes for some reason... ???
 
speaking of amebazoa, I was playing scrabble, and my wife put on "zoon"  I told her there was no such word.  She couldn't use it in a sentence but we looked it up, and sure enuf, it exists.  Zoon is the plural of zoa.  Go figure.
