Aardvark - definitely should be banned / deleted.
i'm sick to death of being told that "Aardvark never killed anybody".
I mean, I've heard that in their country of origin, Aardvarks have a fiercesome reputation.
Plus there's many a time that I've heard people on the radio talking about how "Aardvark and stress killed him........"

I think I'll go and have a lay down, and dream of Christmas.......
