That's not the best comparison because Calvinball's rules are made up as you go along. English is more like ten different people came up with their own sports and are now trying to play a match with each other on the same field.

Yes but the field is Britain and the players are muscular men with swords and the game lasts for a thousand years.

Google tells me "emu" comes from the Portuguese word for "ostrich." This is deeply upsetting. It's as bad as working out that "Nullarbor" is actually Latin and "echidna" is greek.
Probably "kangaroo" will turn out to be French-Canadian or something next.

That's not exactly how conservation of energy works. There's some fat in chicken bones that you could burn for energy, which comes from the food the chicken eats. But it's a small percentage of the bone, so it's more economical to turn the bones into fertilizer.

The British discovered that penguins are high enough in fat that they can be used to fuel coal-powered steam engines.

What could be more British Empire than methodically setting fire to the cutest creatures you can think of until discovering one species with industrial utility

They should have just used the same name for genus and species.

You know, like, Gorilla gorilla (which has a subspecies of, you guessed it, “gorilla”).

Botanists have a rule against homonyms. Zoologists don’t.

So the designation for the western lowland gorilla is also what you'd scream while running away from one

What you need is a tattoo of a symbol that is radially symmetrical so that it looks right from every angle. Might as well make it a bold geometric design too, to really grab those eyeballs. But something with a complex legacy, so it's meaningful. Give me a moment

Oh, now that I think about it, this happened twice.

The first was just some young guy with his own side hustle that happened to overlap with our Large Corporation's business interests. He got found out after a few days of employment and was shoved out the door. Nothing very interesting.

The second was a contractor who evaluated various services and recommended we go with SomeCorp, without revealing that he was part owner of SomeCorp, and had arranged for SomeCorp's prices to be jacked up for us since he knew we'd probably agree to his recommendation. Once our CEO found out, he went absolutely apeshit and ordered Large Corporation's army of lawyers to go scorched earth on him. I don't know what happened but wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in prison.

Is your company the Australian federal government, and was somecorp Price Waterhouse Coopers?
