turkey

Just got this in the in-box from the Oregon Zoo. I ... I ... can't really talk about it. So I'll give it to you.

Who: Meerkats, polar bears and sun bears enjoy Thanksgiving a day early.

What: Meerkats tear apart a papier-mâché turkey filled with crickets; sun
bears attack a 100-pound ice treat filled with delicious berries and
pumpkins, topped off with a cardboard turkey; meanwhile, the polar bears
feast on a layered pumpkin "ice pie."

...

Why: Animal enrichment helps mentally and physically engaged zoo animals by
giving them new and unexpected experiences.

1. What has the federal government done for New York lately? Perhaps because of its semi-Republican mayor, NY gets millions to help relieve traffic congestion.

2. Pakistan is 60. Celebrations, confabulations follow.
(Oh, and let's remember Partition, shall we?) That is to say, not everybody is celebrating.)

3. Those are my ancestors, thank you very much! "Bronze Age man was a bit of a boozer."

"There were up to 4500 breweries in Ireland in the Bronze Age, which means it was the most widespread brewing industry in prehistory in the world," Mr Moore said.

4. What's up in Turkey? Looks like a religious-secular clash.
(Plus an interview on "the state of science in Muslim countries," just in case Turkey becomes one.)

5. Holy suitcases stuffed with cash, Batman! International conspiracy between Argentina and Venezuela?

6. Oh yes, let's give a squirming, lying creep control over states' death penalty cases, shall we?

7. Stop buying plastic crap for your kids. Even Mattel says so.

8. After Dick Cheney gets out of the way, what will happen to the dams on the Klamath River? The O weighs in.

9. When good companies go bad. Oh, Jones Soda, we knew you when.

10. Incroyable! Les Français aiment Ratatouille! (Er, the article is in English; I'd link to the one in French, but those bâtardes want 6 € a month. And BugMeNot can't help b/c it's pay-per-view. Zut alors!.)
