Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

That must be why Bush uses the internets instead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What I want to know is why someone even thought to try this in the first place.

Well....according to the professor, he was testing a theory that animals react to sunlight absorbed through specific parts of their bodies. But it sounded suspiciously like the study had been invented after a bunch of sleep specialist grad students had shaved all the birds in the lab on a drunken bet.

Not anymore. At least not down here. Completely overcast.

I like overcast. And it's the perfect temperature. Don't wanna be inside.

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

How drunk do you have to be to decide that shaving birds is a good idea? My guess is that other drugs were involved.

Also, I've never heard of shaving feathers. Maybe that's why it happened - they wanted to see if they could.

Poor birdies.

Actually, this is how most scientific advancements are made. It took a lot of drunken bets to put a man on the moon.

You guys make me laugh on a stressful workday.

I dunno. I don't think it took a drunken bet for someone to color a cat with a red Sharpie to make it look like the Emporer's Imperial Guard.

I suspect this is also the source of certain outre food items as well. However, it doesn't account for why someone decided to drink the juice of the rotting fruit in the first place.
