But is she a carrot-loving scientist? :wink:

When did I say I don't like him?

Pay attention! :lol:

I don't know.

She only said she hadn't said she didn't like him. She never said she liked him.

(I think she's just in one of her stroppy moods today. :lol:

Stroppy is my default setting

But for your information,

So, we have a Creationist, an Atheist, a Projectionist and a molecular biologist. That's a bit of variation. Whoever said Carrot was a simple character?

I'm a geophysicist and an anthropologist

I'm just ist, too isted to put the rest of the words in front.

Carrot's OK - but he's just boring mostly now. I did actually prefer him when he was 'with' Minty as a romance. With Angua I'm more with Tony really - she makes all the running and really he doesn't seem to make much effort with her until Fifth Elephant and then ends up making a real dork of himself. He does love her though and she's bonded now which means it has to end in marriage as wolves of course mate for life...

Off to get IST like Dug - romance is deeply over-rated and depressing right now! :lol:

Do you like Carrot?

And I would prefer Carrot to get married to Angua as well. I wonder what the children would be? Werewolf or human?

Has it ever been said how dominant the werewolf gene is? If it's dominant, the chances will be 75/25 in favour of howling at the moon.

Not a molecular biologist

No-one knows what I am!

I'm sure you told me you were one...

Well in Angua's family of 4 children from 2 full werewolf parents we got 2 full werewolves, Angua and Wolfgang and 2 Yennorks, Andrei who's fully/always canine (and works as a sheepdog somewhere or other?) and Elsa who was fully/always human and got accidently 'culled' by Wolfgang...

I'd say it's a fairly dominant gene :lol:

We don't usually quote from someone's pm on the main site, I'd prefer it if you didn't (although I'm not mad) - the reason I phrased things the way I did is because I don't talk about my qualifications either. But I'm not a molecular biologist - I use it a lot in my job, but it's scientific tool for me. I don't think a qualification gives you the right to use that to describe yourself, you really have to specialise in it to call yourself an ist.
