An Anglo-Saxon poet was talking to his friend down the ale house and telling him how he'd just finished his long poem about Beowulf. Just then a message came from the friend's wife saying it was time to come home. "Better be going," said the friend, "I shall see you Anon."
Terrible news coming from Merseyside this evening.
The Birkenhead Tunnel has been closed and the speed limit will be reduced for the foreseeable future to 25mph.
The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the tunnel approach recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, has confirmed in their report the problem was NOT Avian Flu but rather the cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts.
However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the ...bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorrys, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry"
Wife: If your mother-in-law and wife were being attacked by a tiger, who would you save?
Husband: I would save the tiger. There are so few of them.
Get well cards can be sent to Husband who is in the ICU.
After birth, how long does it take for the eyes to open?
Cows: at once
Goats: after three hours
Cats: after six days
Dogs: after ten days
Humans: after marriage.
I am not often in libraries these days (since our local one closed down - very frustratingly) but they have not been silent places for a long time. They are mostly calm places. but there is always chatter.
Academic libraries, where people are studying and working - maybe. But they are even rarer.
I find it interesting that the idea of a library being silent has persisted despite not being reality for a long time.

but at least they are having fun.
Your ducks likely hate you
for making them
line up like that.

People who eat it can get
an amount of incredible sadness

Life is but a melancholy flower
You don't get down from trees you get down from ducks.
I heard elephants hide in trees and wait until a duck comes by and they jump on them. That's why ducks have flat feet.

Oddly enough, I blame my doctorate on my handwriting. It was so bad, I really took to computers, and typing instead.
And then the possibilities of clarity drove my doctorate.....

She said “Yes, what volume would you like?"
How do you think the unthinkable?
The librarian glares at him, and hisses "Excuse me sir, this is a library."
He looks guilty and whispers "Sorry. I want a large cod and chips, please.
