# This week's count-up of the compo, reveals...

(Click for enlargedness)

Well, basically, kittens appeared in more images than anything else. I counted only 1 showing for Mort. Giraffes were unexpectedly popular. 95.7% of all entries were some recognisable animal, animal-hybrid (or even plant, in some cases). The remainder simply defied description! (Hence the 'I have no idea' category).

# Doc - I am still digesting this but...
What is the difference between "short-necked" and "ironic short-necked"?

(Apart from one being ironic and one not).

# Um, someone made a post
including a "short-necked giraffe" pleading for no more "short necked giraffe" entries. It might have been DtH, if memory serves correctly...

Edit: And the advice was heeded, because I think there was only one more short-necked giraffe post after that. (Twig's being the very first, of course)

# It was DtH, aye.
With the land rover (?) falling on a giraffe.

# BTW, Prof has offered to do stat-duties next week
You wouldn't mind keeping an eye on him, and cracking the whip if necessary...

You're the responsible one, so I'm leaving you in charge.

# pffft!
Yes, I scratched my head for long enough trying to think of a snappy description, and then eventually gave up...

# It should
But I couldn't work out how to get Excel to do that with hatching, as opposed to colours...

you actually used excel for it! I'm astounded! I didn't know it had pictures of short necked giraffes.
Anyway, isn't a short necked giraffe called a horse? (people need to read their aesops fables I think!)
