489: Tai Shan
(Thank you, Liz!)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The National Zoo's giant panda cub, known to its keepers simply as "the Cub" since his birth 100 days ago, finally has a name: Tai Shan, which means "peaceful mountain."
The name received 44 percent of the estimated 200,000 votes cast on the zoo's Web site, zoo officials said Monday.
Evidently, my suggestion that it be named "PANDA 3000!" didn't receive the votes I'd estimated it would.
P.S.: Thanks for the concern over my previous post, but I think my rage issues are OK. You see, my name means "Full of Diet Coke and Fury" or in some dialects, "I Want to Kick You in the Shins."
P.P.S.: Uh, now that I am full of Diet Coke and not just Fury, I'm left to wonder: what am I wearing?! I was shaken out of such a deep sleep this morning by my alarm clock, that it clearly messed with my ability to dress myself. Frightening!
