What is the difference between camels and cucumbers?
Well, apart from the obvious differences - you know, one of them is a hairy, brown animal, the other a plain, green vegetable etc., etc. - there should be mentioned the following ones:
- The word camel consists of two syllables, the word cucumber of three.
- Cucumber leaves are pentagonal, camels only even-toed.
- Being cool as a cucumber is a nice characteristic, whereas being hot as a camel seems to be rather annoying to me.
- Cucumbers cannot walk, camels can.
- Cucumbers are related to melons, camels aren't.
- Vegetarians eat cucumbers, but not camels.
This topic could really be useful in case you get stuck in a lift and do not know what to talk about with your "roommate".
