It's great how "chameleon" translates as "ground lion." You've got an animal that dwells in trees, can change colour, and can shoot out a long sticky tongue, and you think, "ah it's just like a lion, only on the ground"

Nope; definitely ground. Same root word as exhume and chthonic and humus.

That 1200 pounds number doesn't make sense.

If it's monthly that's loving insane, your dog doesn't need to eat prime cuts of steak.

If it's annually that's . . . just what pets cost. I mean, a tad on the high side, but a single cat can go through two $1 tins of food in a day, easy, and that ends up being $730/yr. For one cat.

I mean if you haven't noticed, that's one big-rear end dog. It eats bit more than a bite-sized cat.

this was presumably included because it's a newspaper and they like to put down words for people to read

It's okay if you have any questions.


The HTML standard specifies that multiple whitespace characters in sequence will be presented as a single space. You can see by quoting this post that I've put eight spaces before the beginning of this sentence, but your browser represents it as one.

Also whitespace at the ends gets squashed entirely

E: not on edit, apparently. Apparently only whitespace at the end gets squashed.
