In Matthew Inman's 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in
the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides), samurai sword-wielding
kittens and hamsters that love .50-caliber machine guns
commingle with a cracked out Tyrannosaur that is extremely
hard to potty train. Bacon is better than true love and you
may awake in the middle of the night to find your nephew
nibbling on your toes.
