Better check your "source." The smallest vertebrates are fish, by a long

Ya know, when I read that bit and then again when I wrote it there was
something nagging me just below the level of conscious thought.
Sitting out on the deck in the bright sunshine this morning the fish
thing occurred to me. Funny how easy it is to overlook the obvious.
In any case, there is no need to check the source.....it was
wrong.....nothing to check, and I couldn't even if I wanted to because
I've forgotten where I read it.

By God, you're dim. And pretentious. Dimly pretentious. That's you. And
obnoxious.

You don't know how lucky you are. Life is so simple for one who needs
nothing more than impotent rage for sustenance.

On the other hand, I suppose that a self described automaton hasn't
really got much choice in the matter, eh?
