Food for thought.

I was writing up menu ideas for next month and a thought occurred:

Should I list hot dogs under 'sandwiches', and a bowl of cereal under 'soup'?

Naturally. I would have failed it if they didn't name it something along those lines.

But trends, though... like clothing trends? People just found tentacles to be "the style" at some point? What else were there?

Exactly, though in this case, the subject is sharks, rather than tentacles. Prior to that, there were horses, creatures with multiple limbs... And, of course, ambulatory and/or carnivorous plants are always in fashion, ever since the first Halmarut wanted something that could protect his garden.

Some fashions, you can imagine, were and are much better than others. I quite enjoyed the trend of making creatures that look like inanimate objects, for example, even if it was a rather short-lived one.

Oh no. Who do I have to thank for mimics...?
