No IDEAR ?! I don't get it. Antelopes aren't cervidae. Shouldn't the question be more "What do you call a blind elk?"

BTW Sam, I'm curious... if we already know that Pandas aren't marsupials, why not change the RBJ definition of Panda to "a tree-dwelling *mammal* of Asian origin"? I think there's a distinction between laughing at a joke because it's funny and dumb and dead-on wrong, versus passing along subtle misinformation because nobody realized that that part of the joke was wrong -- they don't know what a "marsupial" really is, and the joke doesn't give enough info to indicate why that description is wrong from the context (and therefore ought to be "funny"). Euh, yeah. :-)
