No, it's not miss-spelled: that's what my people from my lab can eat for a week once a year. Here's the story: every year we organise a training for scientists from all over the world - and we take them to a restaurant for lunch. The menu was translated by a colleague for this occasion (it is always the same) and shows an item called "Pegasus filet". I was the only one who thought it was suspicious and I asked the waiter (the others ordered it without thinking). It turns out that a new "substitute" fish for tuna(?), called pangasius is on the menu...quite nice, I have to admit.Anyhow, since years, the translated menu is not corrected. And people keep ordering Pegasus filet. They don't even think. I wonder if they actually ever heard about Pegasus. And this is a university. These are my educated colleagues .

I saw it also in the Ljubljana shop and it is actually nice. Your colleges rather don't believe in tales. Or different tales they believe in. I'm sure they know the reindeers of Santa by name.
It's another continent.
Why is it another continent? My knowledge of geology left me.
I was convinced that both Belgium and Slovenia is in Europe.
But don't worry, it could be worse: my college really tried to convince me the other day that dogs are derived from horses.
I confirm, Belgium is indeed a different continent. I could compare people to bushmanns, but I prefer not to, I like bushmanns too much :)
and nanan: have your colleague managed to convince you finally?
