My definition of the numbat
Hello All. Even before the new year, I had been inundated with demands to define the numbat. It may please you to know that I am finally resigned to my fate. What follows will not just be a typical list of fun facts of the numbat, but the actual definition of the numbat. Do with the information what you will. I only ask that you remember this: "Mercy, no matter the form, is an action of the super-human."

The definition of the numbat is as follows...
(please note the somber lack of exclamation points)
Numbats have 52 small teeth.
They have a long sticky tongue.
They are marsupials but with no pouch. How does this work? Dunno.
They live in logs.
Their diet is pure termite (20,000 per day), but sometimes there's an ant in there by accident.
Numbats are widely regarded as very photogenic.
They are slow moving.
Do not mistake my austerity for half-heartedness. I mean what I say.
I have defined the numbat!
