I never thought of insect as animals. I thought animals were mammals, no? Lady bugs are so cute. Flies, not so much at all.

Animals are divided into Phyla - such as Chordata (vertebrates), Arthropoda (Insects, spiders etc), Mollusca (snails etc) and so on, which are then each further divided into Classes.

The Classes you are probably familar with - mammal, birds, reptiles, amphibians - are just one group of all animal life, which by population and number of species is overwhelmingly smaller than the other Phyla.

The insect class is Hexapoda (for 6 legs) which further breaks down into Order, Family, Genus and Species, and includes butterflies, moths, the cute ladybugs and yes those pesky ants.

Wow how cool is that. I was secretly hoping something like this was true, EW.

Thanks for the lesson. Do you already know this stuff off the top of your head or are you reading it/copying it now?

Are mammals Chordata?

I love Mollusca, you get those amazing Golden Mean originating designs and they are quite mind blowing.

One of my degrees is Human Biol, for which a good grounding in overall Biology helped.

The above is pretty basic and easy to remember after you do some reading.

A good way to remember classification breakdown is a mnenomic:

Kings Play Chess On Fine Glass Stools = KPCOFGS = Kingdom into Phyla into Class into Order into Family into Genus and Species.

To get the ball rolling, I will guess something to do with computers/memory?

I was channelling Level, and sort of enjoying the thought of his computer wrangling.

In a convivial way, of course.

Why yes...yes they are.
However compression is also a type of engine, and trace can and is used to describe "evidence", and also a way to reproduce something.
Sooooo...can you be certain you are on the right track?

I'm feeling ok about my track at this early stage.

I forgive any errant thinking on my part pre-coffee.

I need coffee and think I will go buy it out today since I have the day off. Hmmm first I will get some groceries and then pick up the coffee

Does it have to do with measuring the effect of cold and compression on Lymph flow at the ankle, Poise?

No lymph flow or anything of that nature, although an ankle massage sounds fabulous right about now.

Tim Horton's to go with some little tiny donuts to match! I am having a blueberry smoothie first though, get some nutrition in the ol girl.

Is it some sort of machine to measure trace elements of something, perhaps using lots of compression invented by a man named William?

I'm rolling with railroad because of the "hidden" clues.

What's the name of that kid's TV show? Oh, nuts..... it's Thomas the Tank Engine. Was hoping for "Billiy" = William.

Let's see, William Murdock built first prototype steam engine.
Compression of steam makes the engine trace out a path. (Not really, but it follows the trace of the rails.)
