The Kind of Cause I Can Get Behind

When I was little, my mom transferred to me her freaky affinity for aardvarks.  Perhaps it’s their funny little noses, perhaps it’s that most words don’t start with two of the same letter - I never bothered to ask. Regardless, this call to name an aardvark (or anteater, if you must)  at the Los Angeles County Zoo after Neil Gaiman is something I can totally support.

The little dude would be part of the educational program wherein he would be toted around to schools to teach kids what animals are like before they all go extinct after the Large Hadron Collider disrupts time and space later today.  For your meager online contribution of a few dollars, we can manifest the sentence “Who’d like to pet Neil Gaiman?  He comes out at night to feast on insects.”

That’s the kind of choas I can totally get behind.

UPDATE:  As of Sept 12th, they have $1570 / $4400.  C’mon - it’s $10. Pony up, people.
