Isn't there something about a cape, too? I'd swear I heard something about that, and at first blush it sounds pretty reasonable. Still, there's a little voice in my head that's screaming "SMARTASS!!!! I SMELL SMARTASS!!!!!". It's disconcerting, and I would be totally freaked out if it weren't for the fact that I love that smell. Mmmmmmm... smartass!Originally posted by krystal
holley is right.
that, and back in the day when arachnopets was just starting up, scott sent all of the members emails warning us that folks who DID NOT use scientific names would be shot in the knees, have vinegar rubbed on the wounds, nursed back to health, then shot again and placed on a bullet (or paraponera clavata) anthill, while he and debby laugh and eat ice cream while they enjoy the stinging action.
well that explains the odd smell that permeates the two-block area that surrounds your house!Originally posted by defour

Common names, otoh, have only recently had any sort of standardization applied to them in the U.S.. The ATS has tried to establish a set of rules for assigning common names to species names and they've compiled a pretty good list.
Dang, you're right. Now it's too late to go back and edit my post to maintain the illusion of infallibility ;POriginally posted by mrderanged
