Oh my God- a swan with two heads and one leg! Is this near the nuclear power reactor?

AngryMan said...

It's my fault, I dumped some nuclear waste there. Sorry.

colonel; Nature in all her variant glory. Or something.

angryman: Naughty boy!

MP just recently read a book called The Black Swan, all about how people don't predict very well or something. Something about scientists insisting there could be no such thing as a black swan. Until it turned out there was. Or something.

I might have it all wrong. I didn't read it myself.

I don't think anyone predicted two-headed, one-foot black swans. I'll bet it makes finding food much more efficient. Well, except for the hopping on one foot.

Huh. I seem to have rambled.

BIRDS!!!! SHOOT THEM!!!

pheebs: Having not read Black Swan either, I have nonetheless enthusiastically recommended it to customers in the bookshop. I think it's about something like what you said there. Or something.

atlas cerise: No. "A bird. Shoot it." Please at least be grammatical while you rave.

I was going to say 2008 was turning out just *ducky* but I was afraid you'd goose me ... on second thought ...

Cissy Strutt said...

sarakin, keep going with those second thoughts.

You'd need two shots to kill it. And I'd advise not using a sword because it's likely to sprout two new heads for every one you chop off.

Sara Sue said...

Alright ... 2008 is just ducky ... now goose me ... I hope this isn't my swan song!

FreeOscar said...

I feel like duck for dinner.

Cissy Strutt said...

anaglyph: That's all we need.

sara sue: Prepare to receive goose ..... GOOSE!!!

cuntie: Smack.

Sara Sue said...

OHHHHH!! A goose and a cunty smack together! (drip)
