It's interesting to consider exactly why it's such an attractive assumption to pass on - why the meme is so successful. I think it comes back to what Fiona Macrae wrote before changing (or being told to change) her wording:

Vegetarians are often vegetarian for ethical reasons, so some people who eat meat feel judged by vegetarians and assume that vegetarians think they're better than meat-eaters. You can see a common representation of vegetarianism on Shortland Street at the moment, with the annoying, whiny, manipulative moral-outrage junkie dating Sarah's son, whatshisname.

Yap died. Went suddenly downhill one morning, just after it had learned a new tweet and learned he could jump higher by flapping his wings.

Incredibly, Yap is still alive after three nights.

I'm going to get some batteries for this camera and start taking a photo every day. Last night, while we were sleeping, he preened almost all of the coarse tubing off, letting free his feathers. Suddenly there is more to him than exposed red flesh.

Well, to tell the truth, this is probably the best case right now. It's survived another night, and I'm going to get it to Bird Rescue today.

I do wonder what it is. Maybe a tui!

You're a disturbingly clever man.

You are all useless.

The correct answer is: it's a knitting pattern for the fourth Doctor Who's scarf.

It is not Despair - neither the emotional state nor the character from the Sandman comics.

Nope. If this was QI and I was Stephen Fry, you'd have a big "DNA" flashing behind you and I'd be much cleverer than I am.

While technically correct, I'm afraid this is not the answer I'm looking for.

In my defence, I was quite drunk and a little insane at the time. I think. Did you trawl this up from "I Strongly Suggest You Fuck Off, Thanks" or whatever it was?
