The fifth one probably just appeared more nonchalant about noticing Redfred's sweater, failing to give the impression of suddenness.

You know, for a group of people who love to nit pick every last detail, you don't read what has been written very well. There is a whole lot of things I did not say in my seven word sentence fragment.

Apple became a huge success because Steve Jobs was willing to stick his neck out.

Science for the sake of science?

These genetically engineered, short-haired Alpacas, seem to have little value....

Here's a llama

There's a llama

and another little llama

Fuzzy Llama

Funny Llama

Llama Llama duck

Llama llama

cheesecake llama

tablet, brick, potato, llama

llama llama mushroom llama

llama llama duck

I was once a tree house

I lived in a cake

but i never saw the way

the orange slayed the rake

I was only three years dead

but it told a tale

and now listen little child

to the safety rail

Did you ever see a llama

kiss a llama

on the llama

llama's llama

tastes of llama

llama llama duck

Half a llama

Twice a llama

not a llama

farmer llama

llama in a car

alarm a llama

llama duck

is that how its told now

is it oh so old

is it made of lemon juice

doorknob, ankle, cold

Now my song is getting thin

I've run out of luck

Time for me to retire now

and become a duck

In the Patent Application:- 'The machine holds the beast rigid during shearing by gripping the neck and tail and applying a pulling force'.

Not in the Patent Application:- 'A mechanism to adjust the spring tension'.
