Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

"Man, are you old."

Pluses and minuses. You see a lot of change in the world.

Disappointing to lose nice real estate like Beringia and Doggerland, and what has happened to Northern Africa is just a shame.

But we've learned a lot. There are now more books than I can read, although languages are disappearing.

I am curious about what's going to happen next, too, and there will be new lands to explore soon enough.

Yeah, plenty to do if we can only get that infernal space ship built. On the bright side Bill Shatner is still alive and kicking at 82.

Cool! That means he only has to wait about another century for his ship to come in.

Rabbit behaviors [and hence rabbitoid behavior].
The foot thump:

Of course, it would be scaled and tempered by genetic tampering with their intelligence.
But some habits would be very hard to break.

Words fail me. It would be interesting to know if they ever get married, and if so, how it works out. That level of exhibitionism does not bode well.

Where was the jet fly-over? Eh? Eh? What's a marriage proposal without a jet fly-over?

And don't even get me started about the conspicuous absence of guacamole.

Ah, yes. Just as that section of California west of the San Andreas Fault, (Note: Not Darksheare's Fault), is slowly migrating northward into the Aleutian Trench.

D'ja notice that everybody talks about plate tectonics, but nobody seems to being doing anything about it?

I mean, for the children's sake, and all.

I’m very worried about tectonics. Do you know how much it costs to repair cracks in your foundations?

One of my boys is off to Day Camp today. He’s been trying to figure out how many minutes more he had to wait, but he hasn’t learned to do multiplication yet.

Francisco had us up at 5:15 this morning. *yawn*
