A. A. Milne was right
« on: 27 October, 2009, 09:38:38 am »
My daughter telephoned this morning to say that she had seen a piece on the television in which someone had discovered that black bears hum. It would appear that they had recorded a mother humming to her cubs and them responding in kind.


Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la, tra la la,
Rum tum tiddle-um-tum
Tiddle-iddle tiddle-iddle tiddle-iddle tiddle-iddle
Rum tum tum tiddle-um

I saw that piece! The cubs made a noise a bit like purring when suckling.

Next we will find that you can catch Heffalumps by digging holes in the woods

Jagulars really do drop on their prey as well.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Come on, keep up! We used to do that when the Heffalumps wore mufflers.
