Stork incurs hefty phone bill

quote:

A Polish charity has received an exorbitant phone bill after a white stork lost its tracker.
...
According to EcoLogic, as cited by Polish daily Super Express, somebody found the tracker in Sudan, took out a sim card and put it in their phone before making 20 hours worth of phone calls, worth in excess of PLN 10,000 (USD 2,700 USD, EUR 2,300 EUR) which environmental organisation EcoLogic Group will have to pay.

What does, "lost it's tracker", mean?
Someone ate that stork, didn't they. Ate it and stole it's cell phone.

it's almost like a group of 8,000 people can reduce the use of plastic easier than a nation of over 300 million people

in fact some cities in the usa have already banned plastic bags that are far more populous than that specific group

Some cities in Texas tried to ban plastic bags but the state government got offended by the liberals and made it illegal to do that :laffo:

Worst part is, I know exactly who that guy is and why he's in the news.

He put his public transport pass in his hand so the company stopped the pass ruling something about altering the pass making it void. He won the court case about it.

It's in the Ocala National Forest. Apparently a cop actually did arrive and killed the gator with his AR-15.

Uranus seems to be quite a bit older than Demeter, and as the son and husband of Gaia, likely had some agriculture attributes.

The really weird thing? Uranus is the Latinized Greek name of the god. The Roman equivalent was Caelus, and the original Greek was Οὐρανός, pronounced like "oorah-nose".
