Science memes is looking a lot like ‘silly bird names’ of late.
Now I would not dispute that taxonomy has its part to play in science… however this subgenre might need it’s own community.

- Comment on Anon is Turkish 3 days ago:
In turkey the bird is named Hindi, after India. In the Netherlands is called after Calicut. In Portugal, it’s called after Peru, however in Arabic it’s an Ethiopian rooster. In Malaysia is called a Dutch bird.
The explanation is that people through America was India, hence calling it after India a lot (Peru being what Portugese thought was America).
However the people who first encountered the bird they thought it loaded like a particular woodfoul that was imported from Turkey, calling it a turkey bird.
India and other Asian countries only know it from European trade, calling it either Turkey, Dutch chicken or something else like fire bird (china).

Could’ve phrases that better if that’s what you meant, which might explain people down voting.
But yeah perfectly fine, but if berating slightly pervy people on the internet is your thing then there’s plenty of work cut out for you.

League of extraordinary gentlemen.
If they would have just stick to the awesome plot of the graphic novel, instead of sitting the budget on hiring Sean Connery, who understood less about the role than he did with Gandalf it could’ve been great.
