The Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis) is the smallest Carnivore in the world and is capable of killing prey 5-10 times it's own body weight, which is equivalent to a male lion killing a female Asian elephant.
They are vicious hunters and positively adorable at the same time.
Here, in a taxidermic display, a Least Weasel takes down a European Rabbit.

QI Fact of the Day


Catfish have more tastebuds than any other creature. Their entire bodies are covered with them. A catfish just six inches long has more than a quarter of a million tastebuds, not just in its mouth and gills, but on its whiskers, fins, back, belly, sides and tail.



QI Quote of the Day
"The catfish is a plenty good enough fish for anyone."

QI Fact of the Day

New Zealand is famous for trout fishing, but before the British colonised it, there were no trout anywhere in the country.

The band Primus were originally called Primate, but had to change the band's name after about a month due to the threat of legal action from another band called The Primates. Apparently, Les Claypool, the lead singer and bassist for Primus, just looked up the next word under Primate in the dictionary, thus, the new name for the band was chosen, and Primus was born....

The rest is just awesome awesome history....

You are one awesome Holly bush. Primus are easily one of my favourite bands. In fact, anything that has ever had anything to do with Les Claypool is supreme beyond measure.

Dangnabbit would work but it also sounds like their name was censored.

Christ, I'm feeling old.
All I can think of with "Primus" is damn camping stoves. :roll:
(who would have probably been next to force a name change, if The Primates hadn't got there first)
