"Stoat: Carnivorous mammal Mustela erminea of the northern hemisphere, in the weasel family, about 37 cm/15 in long including the black-tipped tail. It has a long body and a flattened head. The upper parts and tail are red-brown, and the underparts are white. In the colder regions, the coat turns white (ermine) in winter. Its young are called kits.
The stoat is an efficient predator, killing its prey (typically rodents and rabbits) by biting the back of the neck. It needs to consume the equivalent of almost a third of its body weight each day. Females are about half the size of males, and males and females live in separate territories. Stoats live in Europe, Asia, and North America; they have been introduced to New Zealand."
And it's kind of neat that you learned something new that you already knew without knowing that you knew it. And I love that anything I ever need to know can be found with Google. I can't wait until they can beam that shit directly into my brain, then I'll really be the master of useless trivia!
Oh man, I pity the foo who challenges me to a game of trivial pursuit when I have google wired right to my brain. "What was the first name of the man who sat next to Queen Victoria's chauffeur during the famous 1881 trip to Brighton?" they will ask. "Nigel." I shall reply. "The pie is mine!"
