This one's for you, Jane baby.
Name That Panda!
The Washington Post on Sunday offered some suggested names for the National Zoo's new panda cub. The Post avoided the obvious choices, like Sandra O'Connor (pandas swing on trees; O'Connor, when she isn't teaching fourth grade in Alaska, casts swing votes), and some of their choices were truly inspired:
Parkay (Enough with all the comparisons to it being the size of a stick of butter. It's not butter, okay?)
That gives us a better idea. Given how unlikely it is that the cub will survive, why not name it Toast?

When I read that and other articles about the BABY panda, I also searched the sites for references to HUMAN babies in utero... and none called them baby. Any mention at all was fetus.
ReplyDeleteHmm, BABY Panda, FETUS Human... what is wrong here? The BABY Panda is not yet fully formed, either, and is definitely NOT viable.....
