The Eschatologist: Survey Says

There is a high positive correlation of the use of common place names amongst species that claim Earth as home. Thanks to the Kurzweil Translator, we've been able to determine that among bear species, for instance, they frequently refer to Earth as "Clod". Further, "Dirt" appears commonly among quadripedal, non-tree climbing species in North America. Not withstanding, outliers do occur among certain species of sloth, calling it "The warm shady place where our foods and beds is". Waterborne species, however, disdain references to "Earth" of any kind, claiming a 70% share of the sphere and are quite arrogant about it.

So sloths have exceedingly bad grammar? :)

Have you ever talked to a sloth? They'll ramble for hours.

Respect the dolphins man!

Also, it is an interesting but little-known fact that all mice on the planet refer to it as "the boring computer designed by Deep Thought with the dull name."
