I have no idea why, but for some reason I'm thinking about giraffes.  Those are some interesting creatures.  I'm not a giraffe expert or anything, so I doubt I have all that much insightful to say about them.  I do wonder what would happen if a giraffe choked on its food.  Even if you could somehow perform the heimlich maneuver on it, that's a long distance it's gotta come back up.  Same for if giraffes ever have to throw up.  I'm guessing a sore throat probably isn't a fun experience for a giraffe either.  One good thing about being a giraffe though is I bet they're constantly sticking their necks out for each other.
