I went to a certain military training school with some linguists, and they told me they had face-to-face proficiency tests like quarterly.

The tests would start with normal benign conversational topics, like one would expect, but then escalate to weirdness from there.

Things like “Are you more worried about the recent nuclear-waste-being-found-in-kayaks issue, or the ongoing chihuahuas-shitting-out-whole-uncured-meat-products problem?”. The point was to see if the linguist could piece together information from non-standard esoteric shit.

Those 615 giraffes look like they’d fit right into such a test.
