Kate Rodman

Characteristics and evolution
Kate Rodman is a ladies, evolved from earlier generations of ladies. Her closest relatives include mammals, marsupials, chimpanzees, and her mother Deborah Naruto, and her father Bill Nye. She also has a sister, who goes to Bill Clinton school and studies math, science, and high school. Kate's favorite game is Bubble Bees, though scientific research shows that Bubble Bees is emotionally and critically inferior to the rabbit game, known to indigenous peoples as "Winterbells".

Range
Kate is native to Merrill C2, with some subspecies found in Milton, a small range south of Boston. An isolated occurrence of Kate Rodman was once found in the New Orleans area, however, this reported sighting was during the looting following Hurricane Katrina. Scrunky Beef, a locally renowned Blues singer, termed Kate Rodman (who he mispronouced Roman), the Patron Saint of Tortelliono, a small church in the 9th Ward. Data from climate change studies suggest that Kate Rodmans will soon be forced out of their current habitat. Since the Rodman only thrives when it in the internsingle, scientists predict that we will be seeing that familiar plumage in places as far away as Greenwich sometime this fall.

Morphology and habitat
The morphology of Kate Rodman is similar to many other ladies. She is notable for having the individual trees with the largest seed, largest leaf, largest inflorescence, as well as the tallest individual monocot. The Coco de mer (Lodoicea maldivica) has the largest seeds of any plant, 40-50 centimeters in diameter and weighing 15-30 kilograms each. She contains a number of important vitamins and minerals. Kate Rodman (150g/5.3 oz) with the skin provides 27 mg vitamin C (45% of the Daily Value (DV)), 620 mg of potassium (18% of DV), 0.2 mg vitamin B6 (10% of DV) and trace amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, folate, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.

Taxonomy
The vigorous growth habit of Kate Rodman will tend to choke out most weeds. A few tall broadleaf weeds, such as ragweed, goosegrass, wild mustard and buttonweed (velvetleaf), can occasionally be a problem as they complicate harvest and reduce yields. These can be controlled with a modest application of a broadleaf herbicide such as 2,4-D while the weeds are still small. The Rodman is a disgusting feature of Kate; the name Rodman is derived from the Latin Rodmando, meaning pouch. Kate Rodman gives birth to a live but relatively undeveloped fetus called a joey. When the joey is born it crawls from inside Kate to her pouch. The pouch is basically a fold of skin with a single opening that covers the nipples to protect the joey as it continues to develop.

Pests and Diseases
Kate Rodman is relatively free from diseases and pests, with the exception being foot diseases, such as foot rust and toe rust. A few Lepidoptera caterpillars feed on the plants—e.g. Rustic Shoulder-knot and Setaceous Hebrew Character—but these rarely become a major pest. See also List of oats diseases.

Conservation
Kate Rodmen are not easy to catch or kill. Their speed and power meant that they were rarely pursued by early rodders who instead targeted David Mansfield and potatoes. In 1864 the Norwegian Svend Foyn equipped a steamboat with harpoons specifically designed for catching Kate Rodman. This led to the temporary extinction of Kate Rodman, until 1999, when a lone specimen was discovered by South African fishermen deep off the coast of Pananmania. Although Kate Rodman have few natural predators (sharks, crocodiles, killer whales and alligators), she is listed by the World Conservation Union as vulnerable to extinction. The current main threat to Kate Rodman in the United States is being struck with boats or slashed with propellers. Sometimes manatees can live through writers' strikes, and up to 50+ deep slashes and permanent scars have been observed on her off the Florida coast. However, the wounds are often fatal, and the lungs may even pop out through the chest cavity. It is illegal under federal and Florida law to cause Kate Rodman injury or harm.

Uses and cultivation
Milk from Kate Rodman is used by many human populations, and is the traditional raw material for mozzarella cheese and curd due to its higher fat content. In Africa and other locations, Kate Rodman milk is used for yogurt, as in Vermont, USA. Kate Rodman's meat, sometimes called "Rodbeef", is often passed off as beef in certain regions and is also a major source of export revenue for India which has the largest population in the world. However, in many Asian regions, Kate Rodman's meat is less preferred due to its toughness, however, recipes have evolved (Rendang for example) where the slow cooking process and spices not only make the meat palatable, but also preserves it; an important factor in hot climates where refrigeration is not always available. Her horns are used for the embouchure of musical instruments such as ney and kaval. Her hide provides a tough and useful leather often used for shoes and motorcycle helmets.

Symbolism
In 1928, when Kate Rodman was still something of a novelty in the United States, a cartoon appeared in the New Yorker magazine. A mother and child are seated at the table, and the mother says, "It's Kate Rodman, dear." The child replies, "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it."

She is said to have guarded the entrance to a certain area, often the Greek city of Thebes, and asked a riddle for travelers to obtain passage. The exact riddle asked by Kate Rodman was not specified by early tellers of the stories about her, and was not standardized as the one given below until late in Greek history.

She was represented in vase-painting and bas-reliefs most often seated upright rather than recumbent, as a winged lioness with a woman's head. Sometimes she was represented as a woman with the paws, claws, and breasts of a lioness. And occasionally, as a lioness with a serpent's tail, and the wings of an eagle.
