PS - for those who can't get enough of our furry friends, there is a ferret-biting-bottom story on the "why destroy the badger?" thread on ask H2G2. Comes recommended!

They were racing ferrets on the Isle of White today.

Well at least that would explain why it took me four hours to get home, I was obviously using the wrong map.

I haven't read the whole thing yet - it looks pretty good, only ferrets weren't domesticated in Egypt. For one thing, they aren't heat resistant, so to speak - ferrets would perish in the Egyptian heat 
. And the ferret looking things on the heiroglyphic artwork are probably mongooses.
Ferrets are descendants of polecats, or they most probably are anyway - so they would be native to Europe, not Africa.
