They're Anonymous, duh.

Because none of us is crueler than all of us.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

*Coughs* Pretty sure the majority of my university goes there, it's kinda freaky.

Philip K Dick thought that there was an alien satellite floating a few planets over that would beam information to or manipulate people into doing whatever it wanted. I'd say that's a pretty crazy "they."

Time for a new issue.

Anteaters got their name because they eat ants. Komodo dragons look kind of like dragons. Hummingbirds make a humming noise with their wings. So what's the deal with woodchucks? They don't chuck anything, wood included. For that matter, they don't seem to have anything to do with wood at all.

It seems to me that people sometimes just name animals with adjcetives that just don't describe them. For instance, the Blue Whale. Yes, it may look a bit blue, but otherwise it's gray. Same with the Great White Shark. Sure, it may have white on it's belly, but it's gray overall. And what's so great about the Great White? Sure, it had a movie made for it, but that's not that great. Anyway, my point is, people are just weird about naming things.

Hey, Josiah: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Woodchucks have a baseball league? Does that mean hawks and beavers have them as well? If so, I wonder where and how they play them. They don't really have opposable thumbs to hold baseballs or anything like that.

If there is a baseball league for them, the Monkey team would probably win, with opposable thumbs and all. But then again, they proably aren't in the same region. The monkeys would be in a jungle, where there isn't much space to move around, much less make a baseball diamond. That is unless they found an area cut down by loggers. Then they'd proably be versing orangutans, and other primates with opposable thumbs, so it wouldn't be much of an advantage.

...Wow, I went way too in-depth with that. :drop:

You know, whenever I think of a woodchuck, I think of a bidoof. Odd, huh?

A bit, since they're clearly based on beavers.
