You can walk a cow upstairs but not downstairs because of the way the legs bend at the knee

Giraffes dont need to swim as their neck is so long. 🙂

A group of jellyfish is called a smack.
A group of baboons is called a flange.

I have no idea what a load of flanges is called though.

The the cure for persistent hick ups is digital rectal massage.

That 80s comedy programmes can invent terms that virtually everyone uses instead of the original term:

A group of baboons is called a flange.

The earliest attestable accounts of mathematical infinity come from Zeno of Elea (ca. 490 BCE – ca. 430 BCE), a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher of southern Italy and member of the Eleatic School founded by Parmenides. Aristotle called him the inventor of the dialectic. He is best known for his paradoxes, which Bertrand Russell has described as "immeasurably subtle and profound".

In accordance with the traditional view of Aristotle, the Hellenistic Greeks generally preferred to distinguish the potential infinity from the actual infinity; for example, instead of saying that there are an infinity of primes, Euclid prefers instead to say that there are more prime numbers than contained in any given collection of prime numbers (Elements, Book IX, Proposition 20).

However, recent readings of the Archimedes Palimpsest have hinted that at least Archimedes had an intuition about actual infinite quantities, but what Zeno, Archimedes and Aristotle were actually trying to articulate is how much firewood Mcmoonter can chop and pile.

Giraffe's can't drink water from a watering hole because lowering their heads below their hearts will make their heads explode. It used to be very messy on the African savannah until the giraffes realised what the problem was and stopped.
