"Why do crows not give up and search for a new whelk if a particular one does not break readily?"
truns ott teh crowas arnt so dumb! youl hafta scoroll down a bit to "foraging techniques of the Canadian northwestern crows".

Comments:
Whelks aren't so dumb either- growing the knobs makes their shells more robust to foil the crows. Purty soon the crows are gonna have to go in there with steamhammers.
jeff, how come you spell like ha ha ha? are you related?
"with knobs on" = really good. don't know why. like "the dog's bollocks", which also means really good, even though dog's bollocks aren't all that.
is it by hitler?

The British also use the word "knob" to mean "penis". Which is why saying that those whelks can be distinguished by "their slightly larger knobs" is so funny.
there IS a difference between which and that. you use "that" for essential, definitive information and "which" for extra information:
"the clown that ate HHH's parents went to the shops" ("that" is part of the noun phrase)
OR
"the clown, which ate HHH's parents, went to the shops" (you could take out the which clause without losing the main sense of the sentence)
*sits back, satisfied*
*swills whiskey around glass*
*looks out at the cosmos*

grammar is like crosswords or knitting in that it's more embarrassing to be good at it than to be bad at it. best to avoid learning any grammar because as soon as you let it into yr life you get all itchy when ppl say something wrong, and involuntarily blurt out things like "but that's a DANGLING PARTICIPLE", like a twat.
