I hope he choked on a locust.

Nor did he *colour* his moustache, which is the only way — considering the contrast with the hair colour — that absurdity could be explained.

As a resident of Canuckistan, I am very specifically amused.

Poirot definitely colored his hair.

The narrator often wondered if Poirot dyed his hair, because it was always jet black even as he aged; in the final novel we learn he resorted to wearing a wig and a face merkin!

To me Suchet is the definitive Poirot. But, the Finney adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express is superior to the Suchet one.

It’s a bit of a plot point in one of the stories (at least) that he colors his hair.

Elephant seals. Complete assholes.

Nah, they’re too busy kidnapping children.

That was an Orca prank.

Hey - I’ve been looking for those. For a friend.

Sharks or lake monsters if you talk to someone in the Okanagan.

They’re very cool; just perfect little sharks. That are a lot closer to beaches full of people in the summer than I think most people realize. They’re absolutely not dangerous, but having seen them countless time in less than 30ft/10m off such beaches, I am sure the casual swimmer isn’t aware.

Justin speaks, like many Québecers, with a slight anglo accent when speaking French, and with a French-Canadian accent when speaking English. This is something I witnessed with some of my friends who were otherwise fluent, they just pick up some of the mannerisms and inflections they are bathed in every day.
