cash crab posted:Oh, also, before I forget, I want to mention that one time I saw a duck sleeping on a damp piece of concrete, and this was the same day that another duck had to be "escorted off campus" for attacking a student at the bus stop. Ducks are good. It is OK to duck. Place I worked years ago had four little enclosed gardens in the main building (i.e. access only via the air or the building itself). Every year ducks would nest in them. Two of the gardens had ponds; security and other staff would put water into the other two gardens for the ducks. The other thing they did each year was once the ducklings were big enough, they'd put tarps down the corridors and herd the ducks from the gardens with no ponds to the ones with ponds.

I went to Spitalfields city farm with a friend yesterday. We found one of their farm cats asleep in a box. I have never met a cat more dedicated to remaining asleep as that one was.

According to the company website the cows activate the machine themselves, and on average each cow will use it 6 times a day.

Story from my Dad. Many many years ago when my brother was little (and I didn't exist yet), my brother met a pet mynah bird and was told that it talked. So he walked up to it and asked, "What's it like being a bird?"

The thing that bothers me about sphinxes is - is that what all cats look like under the fur, or are Sphinx extra baggy?

goddamnedtwisto posted:It's also a minor moment of awesome for London and the Thames - 40 years ago the river was basically devoid of multicellular life, and had been for several centuries. Once they started to properly clean it up, everything from eels to salmon repopulated within years, and now is lively enough to apparently support a fair colony of seals up at The Nore, which is where Sammy probably originated. Also supports two or three different colonies of sea horses.

gleebster posted:Well, that helped me realize I like rabbits to have long, upward-pointing ears, rather than floppy or short ones. Nothing below 5 out of 10, though. There were few that had quite shortened faces that I voted down on. Plus something that I'm not sure was a rabbit at all, because I couldn't make out any features. Put me in the standup ears and more like a wild-rabbit category too. Angrymog has a new favorite as of 10:27 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Suspect Bucket posted:Unfortunately, a lot of people buy or adopt the dog first, then pay for them to go to service dog training. So someone in a wheelchair may be stuck with hyperhund, or need to find him a different home. I thought people generally approached organisations that provide service animals to get a ready trained one? That's how it works in the UK I think.
