- Only adult moths lived in the fur and there was no sign of eggs or larvae on any sloth.
- Further experiments showed that sloth metabolism was so slow that they defecated only once a week.
- In many eyes, control by Deutsche Bank and its fellows was responsible even for West German sloth.
- As a bizarre amalgam of egalitarianism, rebellion, idealism, moral sloth and wanton self-indulgence, rock generated the literati it deserved, from the early-1960s generation of giggly pop scribes (who pushed the old-school showbusiness correspondents aside) to the "serious" boy obsessives who stumbled from the 1970s' underground, wielding big neuroses and even bigger words.
- Sloth was much on her mind.

- Despite considerable research on both the two-toed and three-toed sloth, the moth's life cycle was unknown.
- Sloth and bad organisation seem to be to blame, even though the builders are on high wages to work fast.
- The researchers fed the emerging larvae, which they later found to be equally male or female, on sloth hair (on which a green algae often grows), sloth dung, and leaves from those trees on which sloths generally feed.
