Common names of animals often have common names of unrelated animals, (elephant beetle, dog fish, tiger shark... none of these are hybrids ;) ). Also I heard recently that a fox is cat software running on dog hardware. Seems true.

that's a truly wicked idea... okay i've snuck a contenteditable in to the file. Editing styles live inline is wild .
