a lamentation of swans | 19 March 2004 | 3:40 pm


random day...

interesting animal facts i came upon while trying to find a good picture of a samurai crab (Heike Crabs)...so cool!?? Polar bears are left-handed, go figure...my favorite: A group of magpies is called a tiding, one of ravens an unkindness, one of turtledoves a pitying, one of starlings a murmuration, one of swans a lamentation, one of ponies a string, one of rattlesnakes a rhumba, one of crows a murder, one of cobras a quiver, one of foxes a skulk, one of emus a mob, one of elks a gang, one of cats a clowder, one of flamingoes a pat, and one of bears a sleuth. Groups of geese are named in a peculiar manner; when they are on the ground they are called a "gaggle", but in the air they are called a "skein".

the root facts page is fun as well...

tomorrow is the first day of spring/solstice/vernal equinox/ostara, etc. fun! all you peeps in cold places will have relief - and i...i will have FOG! *bounces*

exorcist bunny-style ...how can you resist?

this weekend i am going to rhonerangers - 150 wineries under one roof, wine tasting at its finest. oh my!
