Bloody Vikings!

[BraveMan]

She must be a charter member . . .

[Khurkris]

.....The Larch.....

[BradyLS]

If convicted, she faces one year in prison and a fine of up to 10 million CFA francs (10,000 pounds)

How much is that in money?

And we mean REAL money!

[plain talk]

at least she won't be caned.

[Eastbound]

"How much is that in money?"

That would be about 266 beaks bills and some loose change. Not enough to squawk about.

[Constitution Day]

A 'truth is stranger than fiction' BUMP.

[ChefKeith]

Squab anyone?

What's the big deal? They are just birds and the the lady is a capitalist, trying to make a buck. This is just like when yall got upset over clubbing defenseless baby seals to death (or close) so good librarians could peel the skin off their almost dead bodies while mom stood by helpless. Yea just a good librarians suppling the market.

The central African country has recently stepped up its fight against the poaching and killing of endangered species.

I always thought you could only poach the eggs.
Once they hatch into actual birds, they're better fried or roasted.

Let's start 15 congressional commissions to determine why the parrots died.

Reminds me of Monty Python's Parrot skit.
