If you find humor in grammatical errors, as I do, you will love the book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. It's just all the rage in the UK, and I thought I'd let you all know about it... that, and I found that sentence endlessly funny. Of course, you must read the reviews (or the book!) instead of taking my word for it, since I am a lowly second-time poster and I still know nothing. [Dont Know]

The first chapter is great, and that's as far as I've got.
Are you from the UK yourself, then? Or did you just hear about the book?

The part I love most about that joke (or at least the version I was told) is when the some guy asks the panda, "Why'd you do that?" and the panda goes, "Hey, I'm a PANDA. Look it up."

Something about the idea of a Panda asserting his right to murder people. Hilarious.

Actually, I'm really not from the UK. I live on the culturally-backward prairies of Saskatchewan.

I heard about it on NPR this morning and thought Jon Boy is going to love this one.

Actually, I was just reading something about the other day—I think it came up as an Amazon recommendation—and thought that it sounded pretty good.
