sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/14/2010 5:59:38 PM)
Yes, fluffy kins, I do! Already put it on a label for mailing [:)] I know Linnea is home. She was on the phone with me about 40 minutes ago and said she was pulling up to the house....

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 6:46:23 AM)
Yep, I was home. But not on the computer. I knew I was gonna hate myself for answering. [8\|] Anura Aotus Oenanthe Prunella

sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 6:47:44 AM)
Your sisters?

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 6:50:17 AM)
How did you ever guess????? Uh, no.

sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 6:59:43 AM)
Lucky guess... seemed in the same genre of name stuff.... ahem... Cousins?

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 7:10:10 AM)
Nope, not my cousins either, silly girl. Although it would be cool to have relatives with those names.

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 7:46:32 AM)
GAACK! Taxonomy synonyms. Some are genus/species; some are at same level. For example: ---------------------- Anura is the name of the order of frogs but also is the name of a genus of plants (although not current: it is a synonym) ---------------------- Aotus is both a plant and an animal: It is one of the genera for the golden peas in Fabaceae (bean family) It is the genus for the night monkeys in Nyctipithecidae The name means "earless" in both cases: the monkey is missing external ears, and the pea is missing earlike bracteoles. ---------------------- Gaack, just Gaack! ETA: Oh! Submitted by Linnaeus. That's not so bad then! LOL!

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 8:16:19 AM)
LOL. Not really Linnaeus, just named after his favorite flower. You're up.

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 8:32:51 AM)
Well,...... seeing as how it is Presidents' Day and all: Tyler Fillmore Coolidge Truman Not so fast, dc. LOL! The answer must be what makes these four Presidents a unique quartet! There are less than a handful more that one might think belong here, but these are 4 unique ones out of a short list. Edited for spelling <blush>

Aylee -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 8:40:34 AM)
They served without VPs

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 8:54:33 AM)
Aylee, not sure that's right since who would the others be on that list? And if there are others, what makes these four stand out from the others on that short list? ETA: Some research shows that Truman did have a VP named Alben Barkley. (Who knew that weird factoid?) So, you haven't got it quite right..... but that same research shows you're on the right track. LOL!

Wolf2Bear -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 8:55:10 AM)
now I know why I rarely am able to post here!

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/15/2010 9:08:11 AM)
Bear: Google IS your friend. I googled: anura aotus and sure 'nuff got a strong lead on the synonyms answer. Had to just check a little further, and cut-and-paste those examples. I learned a LOT about taxonomy and especially the daisy family. LOL! Have NO clue as to what the synonym for prunella is. Hell, I don't even know what prunella describes. I'd guess peaches, prunes, and other single, hard seed fruits, plums, mangoes <?>, but not apples, pears, citrus, and so on. But the synonym? Got me.
