Name nonsense.

If I told you about a fish called a swordfish you wouldn’t be too surprised when you saw it would you. It has a nose that looks a bit like a sword and it ‘s a fish. So how do you explain the ladybird? It is just this kind of nonsense naming that is going to make us look silly when visitors from other planets start asking us questions about what we have been doing with our time down here, rather than resorting to trying to find out the answers with anal probes which quite frankly is such a 60’s form of knowledge gathering technology.
