  • $\begingroup$ @CapyStenchbeast You seem like a good girl. This is a crazy coincidence - my dog's name is Capy Stenchbeast! People are going to think that I set up a sock account so the answer wouldn't be obvious immediately; and after the question was answered, I realized that I could accept it but not vote on it.,so I logged onto my main account. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @WadCheber OHMYGOD! I'M a dog myself! Thanks for calling me a good girl, it makes me really happy, then my butt starts wiggling. The totally hypothetical situation you just mentioned is absurd and definitely not true. This situation is just too funny. Well, goodbye forever, Puzzling.SE. I'm never coming back. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Gamow - Your choice of words is different from mine, but the meaning is the same. I thought of it as: 1a: Animals mentioned in Beatles songs, 1b: animals heard in Beatles songs, 2-5: Animals mentioned in titles of songs by former Beatles, each with an animal named after the person in question. $\endgroup$
