Cleesei Lemuures

I've googled for this story and can't find anything about it.

Google >>>> Avahi cleesei does not match any documents.

Typical. Just the sort of story you know they'll ignore.

John Cleese has apparently just had a newly discovered type of lemuure named after him. A kind of woolly lemuure now known by some as avahi cleesei.

(Checks date on magazine. Starts to worry after previous strange article. Maybe it's April after all, or maybe months are changeable these days, the seasons certainly are so perhaps people aren't so bothered about getting the month right either)

The paper had got its information from New Scientist. I then realised that while I might have an armful of papers I was obviously missing the New Scientist. It was a while before I got to read about Mr Cleese and his woolly lemuures.

Strangely there is no picture of the lemuure. Just one of Mr Cleese and an obviously fake lemuure.

But there are pictures of other woolly lemuures here

I just hope they don't call all the lemuurelets John.
