Whilst looking up information on the diet of Lemurs, I noticed the below pair of sentences:
Lemurs are primates endemic to the island of Madagascar and smaller surrounding islands, such as the Comoros, where they were likely introduced by humans. Molecular genetics indicates that they reached Madagascar after it broke away from mainland Africa, possibly by "rafting" across the ocean on large clumps of vegetation.[3] While their ancestors were displaced in the rest of the world by monkeys and apes, the lemurs were safe from competition on Madagascar and differentiated into a number of species. These range in size from the tiny 30 gram (1 oz) Pygmy Mouse Lemur to the 10 kilogram (22 lb) Indri. Larger species, some of which weighed up to 240 kg[4], have all become extinct since humans settled on Madagascar. Typically, the smaller lemurs are nocturnal, while the larger ones are diurnal.They are both edible. A lemur burger is where its at.

Fuck. Somebody fixed it. Killjoys.

What do you want to know about them?

Lemurs have nails rather than claws on all digits except the second toe of each hind foot, which has a toilet-claw for grooming . . . The term toilet, as used in American English, has changed over the past century. Historically, it was used to refer to personal grooming, not a lavatory device.
I am so glad that I followed that hyper-link; Be-Cause, I was imagining a rather bloody "grooming ritual" up to that point.

What is this shit? Lemurs? Neither Cruel nor High Street.
Which is not necessarily to argue. When we start random posting on ecobiological issues, I will be glad to try to keep up, but who did you think would actually care? We already deal with enough lower primates who were somehow permitted to operate keyboards.

Pale - Please cool it. You already censor the banners, and that is quite enough omnipotence for you.

Don't make me create a lemur "sticky" thread. I'll fucking do it.

At the risk of repeating myself--and to keep things brief, as many would seem to want--I don't censor them. I ditch the trash and obey the votes. If it were merely up to me, on design alone, then 90% of them would be crap. The pseudo-omnipotence thing has already been discussed. You'd rather have the job? Then take it. Don't? Then STFU.

I doubt that any-body else really wants to take on the position of Banner Nazi. Un-fortunately, "taking a bit of shit" is naturally going to come with the job, mate. And, to keep this all in perspective, we are talking about Fled here. I doubt that any-body on High-Street (Fled, obviously, a-side) questions your decisions regarding his comic-sans riddled sub-missions.

Think most everyone, except Square, missed your point. I had trouble eating my own chickens. Rocks for brains but they had names. An intelligent primate, though, I'm not sure I could choke that down. For reals, Square knows more about lemurs than most.

Most of us "caught it," I'm rather certain. It simply didn't seem to demand comment.

Point taken. I could have other things to say about evolutionary isolationism with regard to lemurs, but I've been told I yap too much, so I'll stop it here. It's only been, what, a week since I last stopped by?
