- Team17 concept art: Nazi Giraffe. I love Team17.

- The rare Blue-footed Booby shown both groovin’ and doin’ it.
- Speaking of the Blue-footed Booby, it was featured by Douglas Adams in probably rather many talks, but in one talk in particular. (According to Douglas Adams, it expects that when you’ve picked it up, done the things you need to do and are eventually “finished with him, you’ll put him back”.) The aforelinked talk has been featured by TED as a good talk and remains blissfully burly man intro sound-free.
- Speaking of the talk, Douglas — in evoking the also late venom expert Dr. Struan Sutherland — also mentions the stonefish, and that “people drown themselves just to stop the pain”. Completely unrelatedly, New Moore Island/South Talpatti has been lost to rising sea levels, potentially ending three decades of parental custody disputes by India and Bangladesh.
