Delicious, if a little gristly.

Is that deep fried?

Served with grated dog paw.

I'll sidestep this, as I love zebras. It is an amazing animal.

Generically, the species is - well, all four subspecies.

Only four then... all the other zebras besides these four, are they just horses who wanted a change?

I wouldn't expect too much, that's just the way Stu works when you corner him in an argument, he scours the post for something to pedanticise about and ignores the rest. Totally classless, and he's fooling nobody and just comes across as an absolute dunderhead.

I wonder if he does it in conversation, too?

No, cdd, it's what happens when the argument drifts so far away from the original point I had made.

I wasn't about to be dragged into a discussion about the requirement of humans to domesticate animals thousands of years ago, or the fact that some of the resultant species are kept as pets. I cannot be 'cornered' in an argument I haven't expressed an opinion about.

I therefore only responded to the relevant part of Gavin's post.

Would you walk off a cliff if sput told you to, cdd, or at the final moment you would have an original thought of your own and actually step back?

But you did express an opinion!

I hope you see how nice it is when someone ignores the rest of your carefully thought out post. I might add this emoticon on just for fun as well :mrgreen:
