Animals my sister hates

I had a recent conversation with my sister about butterflies where she expressed to me that they repulse her. How could anyone find butterflies repulsive? This inspired an idea! I've decided to do a tribute to the creatures my sister can't stand because much like Mr T's new sitcom, they're misunderstood. Shall we get on with it then?! (By the way, I've recently started talking like a British sophisticate, so upon examining this entry, please feel free to internally monlogue this with a British accent)

Ah yes, the butterfly! It's wings are brightly colored to let predators know 'I'm not very tasty', but more imporantly they are colored to make people happy. My sister finds them to be gross because, although beautiful, they are of the bug persuasion. This is like saying you don't want to eat at a fast food place because it's of the fattening persuasion! Don't lump horridness with such beauty. Let's get a close up of the butterfly body simply for 'grossing Karen out' purposes.

Their little legs and buggish head aren't overly appealing, even I will admitt that but the wings make up for it's unattractive body, much like my hair does for mine.

The next creature on our list of things my sister hates is the whale. If shown a picture of a whale she will not only cringe but often scream and cover her eyes in horror, similiar to the way I react upon viewing my roommate in the morning.

"Morn'n Barb, want to play some touch football before class?"

I can somewhat understand her fear of a whale. They can be quite scary if you are on a boat and it's giant body is swimming around you (I have left this wide open for a fat pool joke), however, the chances of a whale eating you are slim to none. That's because their throat hole is only large enough to allow little things in such as the tons of plankton they eat each day. The blue whale is her most feared, they can be up to 3 school buses long and believe it or not bible thumpers- they don't eat humans! Although, maybe they could... *evil laugh*

Upon my whale investigation, I found this cool chart. It feels kind of like my families geneology chart...

I find it highly amusing that there is a whale titled the sperm whale who has a slightly larger friend called the humpback.

Finally, we come to the last of Karen's most hated animals- birds.

Birds sounds like an odd thing to fear. They fly away if you approach them and they usually leave you alone, right? Wrong. Where ever we go, birds seem to gravitate towards her head and poop. Yes, that's correct, she is a bird toilet. Here is an example of what it was like to grow up with a bird toilet. Poor kid, the bird isn't just giving him a drive-by-pooping, but actually settling down to ruin his childhood. Birds can't help pooping and I must admit that if I ever became a bird, I too would poop on some heads.

That concludes my tribute to the animals my sister hates. I will be posting more soon. Stay tuned fans.
