	Sloths Got spare money?

Im sorry guys, but i cant help this. Its just I have fallen in love with these creatures... sloths.
They are so cute and lovable and cool. My friends and I are seriously gonna try and get a pet sloth for our apartment even tho they arent exactly legal.
We are gonna try and find a buck-toothed sloth, and name him Charlie.
If we cant find one of those, we are gonan name him Narf.
I look forward to dressing him in go-go hats, and swaet shirts, giving him a skateboard and teaching him simple tricks, like fetching me drinks and tucking me in at night.
If possible I wanna try and teach him some simple speech, so he can make fun of people.
If you dont know much about these creatures, as i didnt just a few short days ago (an animal planet show opened my eyes to the wonderful world of the sloth), then i highly suggest look em up.
In the mean time here are some cool sloth pictures ;D

it would also be cool if we can find a hairless sloth, they would look just like aliens! We may shave ours, but I bet that would get tiresome since they are so furry. We may dip it in acid to remove his hair permanently.

Some think God or 42 is the ultimate answer. In reality, the ultimate answer is, "The three-toed sloth".

Let's all hope that this is a drunken Kramerman's idea of a joke.

Sloths look a bit retarded.

One word of warning. They've got monster claws and if they get a grip on you the results can be horrible.

I dunno, they seem rather passive. I mean this guy i saw just climbed up a tree and grabbed a wild one and carried him down and then kinda just held it like a teddy bear... it just kinda moved around really slowly in a wiggling fashion. I suppose if i encountered an evil sloth i would need to be careful tho

You need a tree for the sloth, I don't think it likes it in your apartment.

I saw a wildlife programme about animals being located from a flooded area due to dam-building. One was a sloth which they pulled from the water. It got a grip on one of its rescuers and pulled his collarbone clean out of his body.

Laz,




Kman,

There's a tree in your apartment? Or is it in the courtyard of the apartment building?

Sloths as a pet? Apart from the illegality of that, I imagine that the reality of it would be somewhat dissappointing.

Fetching you a drink would take a sloth, at its top speed of 0.5 metres per second on the ground, would take quite a while. Admittedly, it's slightly faster in the tree, but then it only moves for pee-trips to the ground.

They sleep for 15 hours a day. Like hamsters, but bigger. Oh, and smellier. They cultivate mosses in their fur. And yeah, watch out for the claws.

No one likes negative campaigning. Just because you're pro-Wombat doesn't mean you have to kill everyone else's joy.

Ignore the evil Wombat-man.

Isn't there some stuff you use to get moss off your garden? Just use some of that
