saurabh is a manic- depressive graduate student with delusions of
overturning well- established social hierarchies through sheer weight of cynicism. in his spare time he writes self-effacing auto- biographical blurbs.
dan makes things up casually, effortlessly, and often. Never believe a
word he says.
hedgehog burrows between San Francisco and other areas rich in roots and nuts. His father says he is a literalist and his mother says he is very smart. Neither of them say aloud that he should spend less time with blegs and more time out of doors.

This reminds me a bit of my sixth grade picture. The braces were the best decision my parents ever made.

my favorite part of the wiki entry:
"Because it is split-hooved and has a three-chambered stomach (and was thus thought to be a ruminant for a long time), there was some dispute in Halakha (Jewish law) as to whether the babirusa pig is, in fact, kosher (permitted according to Jewish dietary laws). Eventually it was found that the animal is not a true ruminant, and thus remains 'trefe' like other pigs."
A close second was the part about how a male pig-deer had mated with a female pig in captivity and had hybrid babies. If I were more sensible, this would probably have been first.

/snort. I have a sneaky suspicion you are way more enthusiastic about wading into freswhater ponds than the average rhodent.
Saurabh, is there any comprenehsive numerical genetic theory about when speecies can interbreed or not?

So doing a search-and-replace in your article results in "Creatures that exist on this planet that me never even fucking HEARD of"...
I find this more amusing than the animal itself, save the part about his own teeth growing into his skull. I had headgear as a junior high schooler - talk about instant pariah status, this poor guy must never get laid. Actually, these things are still around, so that's also wrong. Never mind.

Err, as to interbreeding: no, why would there be? There's not even any general theory on speciation, and I don't really expect there to be. Just as there's a nigh-infinite number of ways to increase fitness, not all of which are immediately obvious, speciation really only involves creating genetic isolation, which can be achieved in so many bazillion ways that one wouldn't expect to be able to describe it generally. Meaning: that pig's dick could be too big, too small, or shaped funny, etc.
