Default Overcome LOOKUP limits and NOW()


I have several new formulas that I've been working on. One
oversimplified example being:

=LOOKUP("lion",{"bird","cat","dog","lion";"chirp", "meow","bark","roar"})

It seems that the first set of LOOKUP values must be in consecutive
(alphabetic) in this examle, in order to return the expected value. Is
there a way to overcome this limitation?

Also, I understand that the MOD function returns the remainder after a
number is divided by a divisor. But exactly how is it that MOD(NOW(),1)
returns only the date?

Thanks.
