Kha-Nyou

 RE: Dodo's song
I understand that a Madison scientist has discovered a new species of rat with long whiskers and stubby legs in Laos. Once again, congratulations DokBok! Your polytocous ancestors had a remarkable range. Way to go, ancient kindred of DokBok!

What I found so unusual about this story is that the scientist "discovered" the new species hanging in Laotian meat markets. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/12/science/12rodent.html

I have been doing similar research at the deli counter as well as the yellow house taven, and I'm hoping to discover a new species any day now.

Coco, perhaps you could integrate the Kha-nyou into your Abu Gogo character set.

In a similar story, researchers at a Missouri university found the largest prime number.The team used 700 computers programmed several years ago to discover the 9.1 million digits long number. It is 2 to the 30,402,457th power minus 1.

"We're super excited," said Assistant Dean Boone, a chemistry professor. "We've been looking for such a number for a long time."
