Re: Ribbons and garters,, ^^
He would have had a pretty solid case, if he had said "Homo". That would have been the genus we happen to belong to and it does have (used to have) non-human (Homo sapiens) members. But somehow I don't think he was talking about taxonomy.

Good one! LMAO Originally Posted by infernalis

And I only consider our species to be 'human beings' (set aside the Latin meaning of homo for now) OK, maybe I should have said I don't consider other members of our genus to be"people" , I also do not consider all members of the genus "Thamnophis" to be garter snakes. Some are ribbon snakes you homo!

Unfortunately, you would only have a case if you said that not all Thamnophis are common garter snakes or plains garter snakes.
Common names ftl.

He doesn't look anything like a ribbon, he's just a baby.

No, besides getting bigger or more colourful or less colourful. My snakes have stayed the same, Snakey's red stripe is more vibrant now.
