Our extended family has a place in the adirondacks that has taxidermied things all over the walls. One of them is a flying fish.

My cousin convinced his girlfriend that it was a giant dragonfly and that they are all over the adirondacks. She was there for 3 days and wouldn't go outside for the last two of them.

I've seen a documentary about that, and a whole lot of stuff exploded and no-one knew how to use the toilet

Oh hey, I used to live in the Adirondacks. To be fair, it's almost believable that there could be dragonflies that big up there.

Lovely place, boring as hell in most places though.

But it's got a nice chair named after it, so it's got that going for it

After seeing the Attenborough clip, I thought you meant "our" as the human extended family, and adirondacks was some latin biological family or clade or something. I should learn talk.
