Michael Straczynski (the series writer) had heard it before, because he wrote a joke off of it. Or perhaps he invented it, and "Michael J." is his account on this stack. The name is awfully coincidental... | |

What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet…go "quack". Vir Cotto: Cats. Londo: Cats! I'm being nibbled to death by cats. | |
