Silly Stuff Number 5 (I think)

Before we get down to business being silly, here is an important announcement: Eddie’s tube is out! Yay! If that doesn’t make sense, see the previous two entries.

Today’s silly stuff deals with the concept of flight, or failure to fly, or reasons not to fly.

This illustrated story of office workers saving ducklings is pretty funny, and cute as well. In fact, it comes from Cuteoverload.com . Ducklings can’t fly. They can plummet off the side of a building, and they can waddle, but they can’t fly. Fortunately, there were people around to help these particular ducklings survive the plummeting and the waddling. Let’s hope the ducklings grow up to be smarter than their mom.

Rabbits normally don’t fly, but in Denmark, bunnies do take to the air in the sport of show jumping.

Finally, David Owen writes about a fantasy airline. It won’t cost you $50 to read about it, although he’d probably like that very much.

For My Friend, Avienne, Who’s Having a Bad Week

Or month. Or year.

As you can tell by the name, Avienne is into birds. Big time into birds.

Unfortunately, she is in serious need of some cheering up. So in the comments section below, I have placed a whole bunch of bird-related YouTube links. Some of the birds are funny, and some swear. Maybe she can borrow one of the swearing birds and take it to the people who need to hear what Avienne herself is too polite and sensible to say.
