ILLUSTRATIONFRIDAY: *SPOTTED*

Snifette à pois.
Spotted Sneeffet.


(Wikipédia) La snifette à pois est un animal employé dans la détection des globirges à poils roux. Quel fin gourmet n'apprécie la globirge aux salsifis, plat hautement raffiné... Les moeurs des snifettes demeurent cependant obscures, car ces animaux ont la fâcheuse manie de devenir invisibles lors des périodes actives de leur vie (naissance, accouplement, mise à bas, chasse, repas, sommeil). En fait, elles ne deviennent visibles qu'en présence d'une globirge à poils roux, leur visibilité ne durant que 3 minutes, ce après quoi elles éclatent. Ceci occasionne d'ailleurs de nombreux problèmes d'élevage, et on dénombre une quantité impressionnante de cas de dépression nerveuse chez les snifetticulteurs...

(Wikipedia)The spotted sneeffet is an animal used in the detection of the russet-red hairs globirgians. Any fine gourmet appreciates the globirgian with salsifies, a dish highly refined... The customs of the sneeffets remain however obscure, because these animals have the annoying mania to become invisible during the active periods of their life (birth, coupling, hunting, meals, sleep). In fact, they become visible only in the presence of a russet-red hairs globirgian, their visibility lasting only 3 minutes. After that, they explode. This causes many problems of breeding, and there is an impressive quantity of cases of nervous
breakdown among the sneeffets breeders...

A great sneeffet picture and a very interesting Wikipedia quote, too ;-)))
Is this sneeffet possibly somehow related to the Ethernet Sniffer I found on Wikipedia?

Ginnie: YUP! I stick to it!!!!

Mr Tiger: You are wrong! You are mixing them up with the BLUE GLOBIRGIANS! The russet-red taste more like chocolate... Very appropriate for Easter.... Another hint: Never eat them on Monday or YOU will explode!

I think I've walked into one of the more bizarre Star Trek episodes. I'll keep an eye open for this sort of thing but don't think we have them in Yorkshire. Glastonbury Fest comes close though.
