Dear Sir/Madam – Daily Mail
January 24, 2008
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read with great interest your article in entitled “Why rabbits love liquorice (and elephants can’t jump)” on today’s edition p15 (and also e-edition here).
The article states:
The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their head are the RABBIT and the PARROT.
I know for a fact that chameleons can also look behind them without moving their heads. So can lobsters. Also, penguins can not jump more than six feet. They can swim out of water and launch themself up on to rocks, but that’s it.
Was today’s article written by immigrants who have taken all the staff jobs at the Daily Mail while the hardworking middle classes are squeezed by Labour, or is there some deeper point you wish to make for a change?
Sincerely,
Cliff
PS. Can a cow walk upstairs backwards?

Has someone been playing animal facts at work again?
No – It’s a coincidence. Look at today’s paper.
As a working woman with no children in her early thirties, I am unwilling to help the Daily Mail out on, well, anything (too busy struggling to stop my desperate ovaries choking me to death, you know), but the article doesn’t say that penguins can jump more than six feet, it says they can jump as high as six feet.
Sorry. I hate them. The Mail, not the penguins. Sorry. Sorry.
I bet they don’t answer the cow question.
That’s probably the most factual article The Daily Mail has written in a long time.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
