Our younget daughters latest pet is a snail which she calls Sammy. She keeps it in a box in the garden and feeds it on biscuits. She has not got a collar and lead for it yet so cannot take it for a walk.

Thats just plain ridiculous. Everyone knows pet snails should be called Garry or Larry.

One for the sponge bob fans (In my defence, my ten year old nephew watches it when he comes round. Thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it)

to work out the total water mass you only need to mark the tank with a 1 foot marker then count out the number of litres it takes to bring the level down the one foot mark and multi ply x3

My grandfather was a rabbi, the was also an animal lover and he had a tortoise called Trevor. Trevor was over 50 when i inherited him. My then wife ran over him with a lawnmower. He died. He was my grandpops kosher pie (sniff). I now have a black labrador called Dublin. He's a gentile but he's warm blooded which is always a bonus.......
