Mine's a horse.
What's the largest dead animal you've seen?
Human - does that count. It was a dead guy in a cemetry by his daughters grave. I think he'd taken an overdose. Judging by his shellsuit he wasn't much of a loss to society.
Failing that, a cat.

It's my first ever thread, for Corkey's sake!
It's one of my Speed Dating questions. It elicits some interesting responses.
A massive dead catfish or some other sea creature. It got washed up on the beach while I was in Spain recently. About four blokes dragged the think out the water and then kindly but it on the beach next to me. Everyone was coming over to look at it - or maybe they were coming to stare at the big fat englishman!

And does it elicit any answers about dead animals?

Just thought it seemed like something that would turn up in there. 
I've seen a dead Kangaroo. In fact it was the first Kangaroo I'd seen when I got to Australia.

Yes, Dr Mengele.

God, you actually do this? I thought Speed Dating was some kind of urban myth.

Massive. But how big? Bigger than a horse?

Bigger than a shetland poney but smaller than a shire horse. does that help?

Why were you in a cemetry? Did you just leave the poor bugger there?

Chip's a bit of a lackadaisical coroner, to be honest.

I do it so often that I now have a Pavlovian reaction when I hear a bell ring - I get up and go and talk to someone else.
