Being nasty to them what deserve it

...the people at ICR aren't competent to offer kindergarten level courses in pretty, pretty baby animals, let alone real biology.

I like saying "pretty, pretty baby animals". Z and E both know the Latin names for several dozen dinosaurs and know approximately when they became extinct. _Go Diego Go_ isn't an awful resource for teaching Central and South American ecology, although they do tend to refer to X being a major predator of Y as Yis afraid of X! I suppose there would be problems with blood and gore on kiddie TV cartoons.
