    Studied Ichthyology in the early 2000’s and will never forget how much of my A&P coursework was on birds. And how the lab TAs were not at all impressed when I just called them all air fish.

      This reminds me of how Stephen Jay Gould concluded that there’s no such thing as a fish.

        There’s also no such thing as a tree. Tree is a survival strategy, not a biological classification.

        P.S. If you haven’t listened to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast by the QI elves, you’re missing out.
