I see some potential for a "Dr. Heidegger, private practice" sketch with people sitting in the waiting room for their appointment with the doctor.

This happened to me a few weeks ago when I booked an appointment with a neurologist and a urologist in the same week. I had to keep double-checking the confirmation voicemails to ensure that I was shaving the correct end.

Sharks and rays are quite different from "normal" fishes. For example they don't have bones.

"Fish" isn't really a taxonomically distinct group anyway, it's like taking a group as diverse as terrestrial animals and just lumping them all together because they happen to live in the water.

They're still vertebrates and they have bones of a sort- cartilaginous skeletons. Sharks are no weirder from "normal" fishes than say the jawless fish, like Hagfish and Lampreys.

There are tons of weird fish that still get to be called "fish." Regy Rusty is correct; "fish" isn't a proper taxonomic group. It's a loose, polyphyletic, descriptive term. Sharks are totally fish.

The distribution of Finnish presidential candidates is pretty amusing.

The results are based on same questions that are used for other elections and in parliamentary elections etc. the candidates are generally ~evenly distributed.

(The president has very little executive power compared to the PM and Niinistö is all but guaranteed to win the 2nd term)

I don't know the correct English term but he's not officially any party's candidate but instead collected 20 thousand+ names that are needed as an alternative way to become a candidate.

It was kind of "I'm above party politics" publicity stunt.

e. "Independent" isn't a literal translation, but works well enough.
