Still not as bad as a line I'm probably going to have to heavily edit in the draft of my triops shrimp report:

"The overt cannibalism caused more trouble then I had at first anticipated."

Can I steal that?

I'm not sure where I'd use it, but it's such a great line.

By the way, the elephants line was mine.

Fine with me. I wrote it reference some prehistoric shrimp I'm growing. Turns out they will eat anything organic, including each other. I was intending to raise them as classroom 'pets' but it's run into a few problems. The line comes form my research paper that I'm going to have to re-phrase.

I am impressed by your grepping. ;) And Triops would horrify Indowy into a coma, I think....
