Inspired by the Hamlet exchange:

Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
Polonius: By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed.
Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel.
Polonius: It is backed like a weasel.
Hamlet:Or like a whale?
Polonius: Very like a whale..

— Hamlet, Act III, Scene ii.

( Camels, weasels, and whales. Oh my! )
