About the Proposed Designations

I guess I should confess that I made up the proprosed designations so I don't fool anyone. Think no one would be fooled? One guy wrote to let me know a vegetarian was someone that didn't eat meat, so there was no such thing as a vegetarian meat eater. I guess it seemed legitimate to him that an alien life form or a child's imaginary playmate could have a domain. Man, see what you get when you try to insert a little fun into an otherwise boring page?
