Thanks Tor, I’d love some. Mmmmmmm… I thought lunch was never going to come. You really know the way to get on a girls good side, you’re charming, clean up after yourself and share well with others–and you have a way of making people give you all the sushi you want. :lies back to sun herself on a nice rock: Yep Life is good. ---

I eat fish, not other merpeople. Besides, I ask you what \* else \* would a mermaid eat? A little sea weed, a little fish, a little rice. . . it grows in the water too you know. Now on the other hand, if I was to eat a _man_. . . . .😛 ---

4 pages and no one has linked to the [other time we did this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40633) yet? I guess I’ll be the same animal as before: I’m a _Phylobates terriblis_ - a poison frog from the rain forests. “The poison (toxin) of the frogs comes out of pores in the skin. The poison frogs are also called poison-dart frogs because some of the Amerindian tribes use them to poison their darts with. Not all poison frogs are deadly, only 3 species are very dangerous. Of those 3 is the Phylobates terriblis the deadliest. Its deadly poison is called Batrachotoxin and one frog is enough to kill 20.000 mice or 8 human beings.” All of the above shamelessly stolen from [http://www1.tip.nl/~t272198/](http://www1.tip.nl/~t272198/). ---

:LICK: Ha ha ha ha \* Mythological\* creatures are immune to your poison. But I do feel a little funny. Say are you related to the mushroom? Why of course you can’t be “related” to the 'shroom cause it’s vegetable and you’re an aminal, I mean amninmal, I mean …Aw hell I don’t know \* what \* mean. Come back here a minute. :LICK: Teee heee. [sub] DISCLAIMER: The Mermaid doesn’t in any way wish to imply that she condones the use of psychotropic,illegal or in-any-way-bad-for-you substances. It’s just a little harmless frog licking–Deal with it.[/sub] ---

_psst_, Mermaid, don’t look now, but your next post will be number 1000. Maybe I should lick you in return in celebration. Now where exactly would one lick a mermaid to get the maximum desired effect? ---

So, do _all_ zoos degenerate into chaos, with the animals alternately demanding food and licking each other, or is it just this one? 🙂 It will make for some excellent customer testimonial, in any case. “I ain’t never seen a giraffe licking a bear, or a frog licking a mermaid, but I saw BOTH at that there SDMB zoo! And they had Chinese food!” I can see the commercial now… ---
