The Reason I knew Cardabiodon is because of this Informative Video https://youtu.be/e4p9EWuVxYQ
Don't let the Thumbnail fool you, It's a Pretty Good Educational Video about Extinct Lamniform Sharks, I'd recommend Shark Enthusiasts to go watch it.
The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.

Back home, we have eight orders and 33 families totaling up to 512 species of sharks. On Great Lakes Earth, the longer Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum wiped out three-quarters of the shark species, including 100% of Hybodontiformes (lumptooth sharks), Heterodontiformes (bullhead sharks), Hexanchiformes (frilled and cow sharks), Lamniformes (great whites, baskers, megamouths, threshers, sand tigers, goblins and crocodile sharks) and Carcharhiniformes (tigers, bulls, blues, weasels, houndsharks, catsharks and hammerheads). The remaining orders—Orectolobiformes (carpet sharks), Pristiophoriformes (sawsharks), Squaliformes (dogfish) and Squatiniformes (angelsharks)—now had plenty of room to expand and diversify. Whereas we have identified only 512 species of shark, we have identified 3,660 species on Great Lakes Earth. This higher number is not just because of the fact that they are far, far, far more common on fresh water and deep water than back home, it’s also because they occupy niches filled back home by some of the bony fish.
ORECTOLOBIFORMES (Lungsharks, wobbegongs, blind sharks, nurse sharks, bamboo sharks and kukri sharks, 834 species)
This order of sharks is pretty conservative compared to back home—the vast majority of them are sluggish bottom-dwellers. One family in particular, Orectolobidae, the wobbegongs, make up 100 species and 31 genera, doing very well in a world without the sharks’ closest living relatives, the rays. Even the kukri sharks, named for how recurved their teeth are, are confined to munching on bivalves and barnacles.
267 species within the order are called “grouper sharks” because of their stout bodies and huge mouths. They are not what you’d call built for speed or long-distance travel, therefore confined to the coastal waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, and even right in the Tethys Sea. The largest known species is the hujiao of Asia, averaging in at eight feet long and 880 pounds. There are currently two families of grouper sharks, but before the Miocene-Pleistocene Cold Snap, there used to be five.
Back home, this order is where we’ll find the epaulette shark, a species that can survive on dry land by slowing down their breathing and heart rates and powering down their brains. To seal the deal, their fins are modified into something that act more like legs, so they walk rather than swim. However, the epaulette shark’s survival strategy has a one-hour lim

True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

And then you will all be sorry.
Now it’s syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
I will find you. You have my Word.
