  • Oh that brings back a memory I had damn near repressed. I had a printer/scanner combination (Canon in this case) and I was coming up on a deadline to scan a butt load of important documents.

    That’s the exact moment the printhead on the printer part of the printer/scanner decided to crap out.

    Well thankfully I didn’t need that part to work if I just needed to use the scanner, right? Wrong.





  • There’s a zoo near me that started out as a rescue park for abandoned parrots. One enclosure had all the potty-mouthed parrots in it and they hung up a sign saying

    “If the parrots shout insults, they’re (usually) not directed at you personally”

    That always made me laugh.

    Also don’t buy parrots as pets. They’re notoriously difficult to keep and most people get in way over their heads while the parrots live a miserable and depressed (and very long!) life.




  • Agreed on the parrots but a lot of corvids I’ve encountered were absolute trolls as well. Very intentional and calculating, they clearly had fun antagonizing other animals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re assholes. But they’re funny assholes.

    Maybe European corvids aren’t like Australian ones. I’ve heard stories about your magpies.
