Reminds me of "It's not about the bike, but about the drugs" by Lance Pharmstrong".
No... wait, I might have got that slightly wrong.

I read the article, though I didn't think much of the title, the part that caught my eye was about hunting, apparently most of the animals know when its hunting season and move into the national park where huntings banned at the sound of the first shot, it sound like they need to reintroduce the local predators and add more balance to the ecosystem.

What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison?

You can't wash your hands in a Bison... (Basin... geddit?!??!)

OK, I'll get my coat

Isn't it that you can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

Here's your coat and your day job.

Well, if it's nominative determinism you're after, @Speicher is a military bigwig in Iraq!

Erm, kill them all and eat them should it. Isn't that the point of them?

Are we all just talking Bullock's?

I've been hearing a lot about nominative determinism recently, on QI's No Such Thing As A Fish and The Infinite Monkey Cage. Apparently it all started with two articles:
Pole Positions - The Polar Regions and the Future of the Planet by Daniel Snowman
An article on incontinence in the British Journal of Urology by A. J. Splatt and D. Weedon

The harbour master at Shoreham Port is named Julian Seaman,

Miss Goodbody doesn't believe in nominative determinism

I've not got a photo but apparently there was a sign in a sailors' mission that read "coloured seamen ejected"
