The date before the year is the date of Chinese New Year (in dd-mm-yyyy format - Chinese New Year this year was 22nd January, for example).

 

[VIPFREAK]

Horse, are there a lot of Chinese people here?

 

[Famine]

No idea. But every year we have a big fuss in the UK about Chinese New Year, and suddenly everyone goes all "Oooh, I'm a Badger/Fox/Leopard/Water Buffalo/Whelk". Thought it might be fun.

My girlfriend can never remember - her birthday is 27th January which is in the period the Chinese celebrate their New Years. She's a snake like me though.

I wanna be a Whelk! Or at least I think so. Whats a whelk? Some English thing that Columbus couldn't fit onto the ship?

Well, I'm a tiger, so I'll just appease myself by going and eating a whelk. (I hope that's not a bad thing)

 

[Famine]

Wasn't Columbus Portuguese?

DOG WHELK:
(Nassarius perpinguis)

TAXONOMY
PHYLUM: Mollusca
CLASS: Gastropoda
SUBCLASS: Prosobranchia
ORDER: Neogastropoda
SUBORDER or SUPERFAMILY Buccinacea
FAMILY: Nassariidae

Some whelks are edible. You'd be okay.
