Friend of mine had a peacock land on his window once. Like one of those windows that tilt at the middle, and it was horizontal cause it was a hot summer day. So he shot it with a BB gun and it made a peacock noise and fell down. Then the police came because you aren't allowed to shoot peacocks in Denmark.

Denmark is a lot like Minority Report in that they have a host of psychic girls floating in vats of goo that can foretell future crimes before they happen but only if they involve peacocks. In this instance the police just arrived a moment too late.

From what I've read the p is only silent at the beginning of the word. Sadly. Because Megaptera sounds way cooler without the p in it.

Speaking of peacocks, last summer a peacock escaped from a zoo in Toronto. It did eventually return on its own, but while it wasn't caught by anyone chasing it several people did manage to capture pictures of it running through the city neighborhoods. Rather than choose one I'm just posting the first page of Google image results (for peacock toronto):

I once worked at a crazy farm called Butterfield Acres and one day we got a call from the neighbours saying one of our peacocks was in their pool and it wouldn't leave, so me and this other guy had to go over there with comforters and try to catch it, but really we just scared it and it flew back on it's own. What a day that was. My favourite life story.

That's not too far off. Cassowaries have retained several anatomical features from their dinosaur lineage.

Other birds have evolved into tree-dwelling poofs that shake food out of each other's heads.
