Another interesting tidbit is that if you shave a sparrow's head and paint it black, you can totally throw off it's circadian rhythms.
What I want to know is why someone even thought to try this in the first place.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Kristin, I've got both eps on a tape (along with last week's VM and last night's LOST and ALIAS), but I haven't gotten around to watching them yet. I can send you the tape when I've gotten to them (maybe this weekend), or if I decide I'm never going to get to them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was wondering that. My best guess is that it increases the amount of heat that the bird's skull gets when it is in sunlight.
Why someone thought that would be a good idea....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
because it's freaking gorgeous out there, and my cube is very far from any windows.
Not anymore. At least not down here. Completely overcast.

I think with birds that light entering through the skull can effect sleep, so painting the head blocks the light and changes the sleep patterns.

It's completely overcast here too. I see little suns in the status bar of my browser so I guess it will get sunny tomorrow.

Heh.
It is overcast but still warm here. Nice for being outside.
