I'm gonna own sugar gliders ;D

[babbing]

never heard of them, what are they? hummingbirds? : ;D

[sujoki]

yeah my first response was wtf are sugar gliders?

[gaxprels]

I thought this might generate some confusion... erm.. uh.. i mean... discussion ;D

Sugar gliders are marsupial flying possums from australia. Adults are about a foot long, 6 inches of which is their tail, which they use as a rudder when they glide from one post to another. They are nocturnal and arboreal (tree dwelling) and are more work than a dog or cat because you have to bond with them so they will trust you... but after they bond they are more loyal than any dog, and definitely more entertaining than cats (even cats with tape on their paws )

so basically a flying squirell?

Now I've heard of those.

so basically a flying squirell?

Well... yes and no.

It's a flying marsupial possum. Flying squirrels are larger and mammals... and thus unrelated. But they move around basically the same way

[sujoki]

well to not confuse people just say, a sugar glider, kinda like a flying squerell.

But you see, that's what he wanted.... to confuse people.
