In an effort to beguile the growing crocodile population, several African governments have banned the use of the word "wildebeest". These animals will now be required by law to be described as Brindled Gnus. Crocodiles in the next few months will see only these Brindled Gnus on the riverbank and will let them pass while waiting for the familiar and tasty Blue Wildebeest.
The theory is that while most crocs will likely be aware of the change soon enough, (crocs talk) some of the dumber ones won't catch on and we'll achieve a bit of a"literary cull" of the stupider crocs. A potential weakness has been exposed in the idea in that there are also cranium-challenged Gnus who may forget to change their name tags.
This summer could be the first ever where we have stupid crocodiles eating only stupid wildebeest. Conversely, we'll also have smart crocs eating only smart(er) Gnus.
Let the games begin.
