Well, you go to a reasonably decent party, or for that matter, any social event, and there’s this group of people who will get together and swap tales about moronic and dumb people, creatures and observations. Some, I think, are so horribly made up, that it is funny and strange that we believe them anyway.
There’s this great story about how someone bought a parakeet or love-birds and put them in a room with a wall full of mirrors… And then the bird would fly into the mirror every time thinking that there was a room to the other side…
Now what disgusts me to no end is that the bird cannot really be that dumb. I mean come on, you can say that it cannot perhaps fathom the concept of a mirror, but atleast it can see a bird, heck, the same as itself flying from the other end. Surely, it’ll try and avoid a sure collision! But apparently, the story-teller does not think so.
==================
Anyway, I am aborting this post, because this probably has been the most interrupted post ever. Sad, really.
