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.
And we live to fight another day.

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

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 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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I like overcast. And it's the perfect temperature. Don't wanna be inside.
Fair enough. It is warm/humid outside. Since I ain't seeing the outside, like, ever, I just want the sun through my window.
