My understanding is that it's actually the entire "shark family" - sharks, skates, rays, etc.... Millions of years unchanged, and pretty much perfected for their jobs.... :)

What is the name of the dot ontop of a little i ?

Tittle

Avocado contains 10g fat per 100g (apparently a fruit?!?)

Durian contains 3.4g fat per 100g (star fruit)

Olives contain 14g fat per 100g (also apparently considered a fruit)

Passion Fruit contains .4g per 100g

Which one you talkin' about?? :)

Avocado was the one i was looking for ,even a bannana has traces of fat

Avocado - derived from Aztec "ahuacatl", which means both "fruit of the avocado tree" and "testicle" :)

Imagine *that* next time you're eating guacamole salad at the local Mexican place.... ;)

It's been years since I've read Watership Down, but I believe rabbits can only count to three (after three it's some rabbit word for "a bunch"). 1...2...3...a crapload!

So what does "Tharn" mean in the rabbit lexicon?

Rabbits only count to four. Anything above four is "hrair", which means "thousand". Fiver's real name was apparently Hrairoo - which means "little thousand". "Fiver" is an approximate translations, apparently.

"Going tharn" is the "deer in the headlights" fear/panic reaction....

I guess I need to go read Watership Down again... ;)

that would mean i was correct?

Yes, Adams called him Fiver, as a translation shorthand. The rabbits didn't actually call him Fiver, though, as they had no concept of "five". They could count to four, and then it was Hrair. At least - that's my understanding of translations/interpretations of Adams' work :D IOW - yes, he was called Fiver. The rabbits could only count to four.
