When someone says "to cut a long story short" they are making the story longer by adding this superfluous phrase.

Killer whales aren't whales. They're a species of dolphin.

Jellyfish aren't fish. They're a species of cnidarian.

Panda bears are not bears, and red pandas are not pandas.

People often say that Pandas aren't bears, but they are.

Wow, that's weird, I made that post in response to 4X4 and Buckey's posts, but had not yet seen Octothorp's post, as I was in the process of typing mine.

Could Pandas not also be of the raccoon type?

Nope. Pandas and red pandas are 100% cute.

For many decades the precise taxonomic classification of the Giant Panda was under debate as both it and the distantly related Red Panda share characteristics of both bears and raccoons. However, molecular studies suggest that the Giant Panda is a true bear and part of the Ursidae family,[21][22] though it differentiated early in history from the main ursine stock. The Giant Panda's closest ursine relative is the Spectacled Bear of South America

Chimp Funeral, National Geographic:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/1..._n_338120.html
The November issue of National Geographic Magazine features a moving photograph of chimpanzees watching the burial of one of their own. Since it was published, the picture and story have gone viral, turning up on websites and TV shows and in newspapers around the world.
"Her presence, and loss, was palpable, and resonated throughout the group. The management at Sanaga-Yong opted to let Dorothy's chimpanzee family witness her burial, so that perhaps they would understand, in their own capacity, that Dorothy would not return. Some chimps displayed aggression while others barked in frustration, but perhaps the most stunning reaction was a recurring, almost tangible silence. If one knows chimpanzees, then one knows that [they] are not [usually] silent creatures."

They were probably all thinking, "so, when do we get to eat her?"

Indian = in dios
Back in Columbus time, people were aware that the world was round (you send enough ships from england to africa and someone was going to figure it out). When columbus discovered the aboriginals, he referred to them as 'una pobla in dios' (sp?) spanish for 'a people in god."
I heard this from george carlin, it might just be BS revisionist history, but sounds pretty plausible.
