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.

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.

it is so exciting to see so many bare legs. AND I am now starting to seriously feel the iced-coffee cravings which will control me all spring and summer. YAY!

No, it took a two or three year old's random thought processes. Similar logic, I expect.

I'll bet it was first an accident.

Seriously, one set of grandparents were teetotalers. And there was this one time at a Vasa shindig where someone brought this lingonberry punch they had and next thing you know, there were a bunch of drunken swedish teetotalers who had no idea what had hit them. (it had been stored poorly and fermented.)
