So, a work related item today.
While researching for an upcoming show on “Animal Architects”, I came across this interesting passage on a website about beavers.
Really? Practical jokes, huh? One can imagine that beaver practical jokes might get out of hand rather quickly. After all, practical jokes have a way of escalating…it’s easy to see how two beavers could start out rubber banding sink spray handles and dipping paws into warm water and end up knocking trees down on each other and sabotaging dams, resulting in death and widespread flooding downstream. Entire families of rabbits and chipmunks piling onto floating shreds of bark, desperately chirping to each other as Mama Chipmunk gives up her space on the bark for all her little babies…all because Chip the Beaver was getting back at Woody the Beaver because Woody let all the air out of Chip’s tires while Chip was on a date.
Lesson of the day—Practical jokes aren’t really that funny…even when you’re a beaver. Especially when you’re a beaver. The consequences are just too significant.
Also, today is George Washington’s Birthday. It’s time to celebrate it with those most time honored of GWB celebrations. So come on, people! Lets go chop down some cherry trees! Lets wear ivory dentures and drink red wine, thus giving root to the myth of “wooden teeth”. Lets lead some Revolutions, baby!
Aight, I’m spending the evening playing Halo 3 all night long in joint celebration of me, my brother, and Derek Phillips birthday. Huzzah!
