Hah! You're right epak. I missed that.

That's probably on the video.

Ali, on my home blog, I captioned it "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" (But I know there are delicate sensibilities here..)

But Dore was basically an illustrator. I have an edition of his Paradise Lost and it's fantastic. It surprised me that Botticelli did a set.

C'm on in, the excrement's fine.

Fascinating. Thanks Daniel.

I'm pretty sure the lady is committing sarcasm.

They sure look like caltrops.

Soylent Green is PEEEEEOOOOOPLE!

I once saw a blackbird kill a robin. It actually decapitated it by getting it down on the ground, standing on its back, and pecking through its spinal colum at the neck. I was in my car, stopped in traffic at the time, and I just watched in amazement.

I tried to find a cowbird that looked like he worked for the Sopranos.

Cuckoos do it too.

Durn sneaky dog. That's the sort of thing a cat would do.

If it's true, Beth, it would be wonderful. After all, the ivory billed woodpeckers seemed to be gone for 90 years or so.

They look a lot like dogs too, and that always tugs at my heartstrings. I expect if they were a type of rare squirrel or something I wouldn't get that melancholy feeling -- like I might have lost a friend -- along with the natural sense of regret at losing something unique.

Yes. That's exactly the feeling I had. Creepy and sad.
