While writing about the Citizenship Test, I realised they’d forgotten to ask an important question about our national symbols. See if you know the answer. If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, go to the website to vote.
Last week’s results: Sadly for the Snarky Platypus, “I really want to see a remake of Flashdance” received only one vote. The clear winner was “A bit more to the left, and with a bit more velocity.”
Did anyone understand that poll?

Like lying rodent isn’t going to win this one in a cakewalk.
As a write-in though, I am fond of “dingo eating baby”, “flying pig” (perhaps in a barrel too?), “rapacious rabbit” and last but not least “feral cat”.

Um, that should be “baby eating dingo”, though the way it currently is creates an interesting mental image…

I initially read that as “demise of the hymen”, which is something quite different…

And I’m a big fan of hyphens and hymens.
Both are our friends; I won’t play favourites.
