i look like Moose, too! I'm totally black and furry with floppy ears and all that. I think the key is to ignore the aesthetic oddness or the physical phallacies and look at the temperament thing. Which works, really, since my girlfriend got a greyhound - she's not skinny and she doesn't run fast but she is quiet and devoted but only to a couple of people, bla bla, can't be bothered finishing this sentance, she's JUST LIKE A GREYHOUND.

and i am a noble MOOSE.

the plural of 'thesis' is 'theses' which is - conveniently - similar to feces. Not enough has been made of that in academic circles, i feel.
