Question of the Day:

OK so Darius Rucker isn’t nicknamed Hootie and his band isn’t “The Blowfish” so how did the group get its name?


Answer to Yesterday’s Question: The Capybaras, Which some think was allowed because no one who decided on this has ever seen a real capybaras and it is an aquatic mammal. Not that is was the only aquatic animal that has been at times allowed: others have included beavers, geese and puffins. And at one time the bishop in what is now part of Michigan allowed the eating of muskrats which has also become a traditional Lenten food, although we could find no proof that it is still consider not meat on Fridays. All the animals along with being often found in water also have in common the fact that they were plentiful at the time and not considered the luxurious foods like beef and other meats.
