This is to do with my brother (he's 12). I was talking to him about 'big, hairy yaks' and he said, "Hairy? You mean feathery, don't you?" After a few quick questions it turned out he thought a Yak was a big black bird. Glad I caught that before anyone else... it took the Cambridge Encyclopedia to convince him I was right.
