The Seedy Underbelly of Humor Columns Revealed!
From: NewsTrove.com

"[Insert generic opening humor column sentence here.] Phew, now that we got that out of the way, we can talk. The opening sentence is always the toughest whether it be a humor column, an informal dinner gathering, or your first day with a new cellmate. Face it, you can't speak honestly to your cellmate Ox about your critical need for the top bunk until you've broken the ice with a quick line about the weather or a brief game of "I Spy." You: I spy something made of metal. Ox: Is it the shiv I'm hiding in my sock?? You: Wow, you win that round."

Bird-Watching
From: NewsTrove.com

"Bird calls can only be compared to a colorful musical concert. In Puerto Rico, you can get front-row accommodations for a unique performance. The island boasts up to 284 bird species, ranking second in the Caribbean. Bird fanciers are in for a treat because accessible roads and trails around the island easily lead to and through every habitat within short time spans. Get information on the specific area you wish to visit and the best times to watch the birds inhabiting that zone.

Bird IQ Test Takes Flight (Science Daily)
From: us.rd.yahoo.com

"How smart is your parakeet or that crow in the back yard? Ask Dr. Louis Lefebvre, inventor of the world's only comprehensive avian IQ index. His intelligence index is not only separating the featherweights from the big bird brains, it's also providing clues about why some birds make great immigrants, as well as insight into the parallel evolution of primate and bird brains."

Yay! Nail Trimming
From: www.livejournal.com

"Guess what? I trimmed Frankie's nails! I was worried about doing it, since Frankie's not totally tame, but it went great! I wrapped Frankie in a washcloth, with one foot out at a time. Afterwards, Frankie even sat on my lap and arm for a little while and let me scritch his head (maybe he was just still stunned and confused by what I had done to his feet). I had styptic powder on hand, but didn't need to use it. Luckily, the quick is very evident on lutinos."
