One of my fond memories is reading a brief article or letter (I can't
remember which) from an IVF staffworker (that name gives away how long
ago it was) who asked people if they believed there were kangaroos on
Noah's Ark.

That staffworker still seems to be prepared to ask the same question.
Keep it up, Rowland.

Oops! If I said that last sentence to a class of engineering students
there would be howls of laughter.
But you know what I mean.  I've been retired so long now that I'm not
so bright as I used to be about choosing my words carefully to avoid
possible unintended misinterpretations.
