I have spent today being cheerful for a change, mostly fuelled by my love for goofy looking animals. I have just spent the best part of three hours watching videos of hippos, elephant seals and penguins to name but three as they flop about the place, making the world look untidy.
But the king of all stupid looking animals is easily the manatee. Truly it is the lord of the funny-looking. I can't even look at a picture of one without giggling like an imbecile.
Of slightly lesser entertainment value is its cousin, the dugong, which may be less funny to look at but has the advantage of having a more amusing name. It's a name that is fun to say, and to type.
Dugong.
Duuuuugong.
Try it. It might liven up your day as well.
Darren Ellis writes, except when he doesn't.
When he doesn't he's more than likely doing something sedentary and fun, like playing video games or reading a book. Or procrastinating over what he's supposed to be writing.
Oh yes. He does that last one quite a bit.
