First, RIP Boo Bigsalot, hamster, friend, entertainer of cats. He sadly died yesterday and was burried at sea today. Boo hoo hoo. He was so cute...walkin' around, no shoes, eatin' his poos. He will be missed by all. Especially Shnarf.
Second, this sad event prompted a rather funny discovery. It has always amused me that pretty much the only thing I could remember from German lessons at school was 'mein hamster ist geborsten', meaning my hamster is dead. It was only when I checked in a translator how to spell 'geborsten' that I found out that it really means 'burst' and not 'dead' after all. I have actually remembered how to say 'my hamster is burst'. Well done me! I've even repeated it to German people. It explains the baffled responses I guess. What a spanner I am. In actaul fact...mein hamster ist nicht geborsten. Mein hamster ist tot.
