Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted February 23, 2008 Bloody Hell. On top of everything else, one of my kids' guinea pigs croaked it this morning. I know he's not famous (although his name is Chaka Demus) so sorry, but he is dead, so I'm halfway there. I've got kids crying everywhere. It's all their father's fault, just like everything else is. Bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted February 26, 2008 Lady Amherst's Pheasant becomes the first bird to be classified extinct in Britain since 1840* Chrysolophus amherstiae *It was never a native species anyway, and there are loads of them elsewhere. So many so, that it is of no extinction concern whatsoever. But I'd already found, cropped and uploaded the image before I realized this. Sorry. Pretty, isn't it?

Well I thought it was interesting, also I didn't know great auks used to be found in Britain, thought they were more northerly, so I'm glad I read it.

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted February 27, 2008 I thought some more birds were going to become extinct last night with all the squawking and chirping in the aftermath on the great British earthquake. Did anyone else feel the earth move for them around 1 o'clock this morning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted February 27, 2008 I thought some more birds were going to become extinct last night with all the squawking and chirping in the aftermath on the great British earthquake. Did anyone else feel the earth move for them around 1 o'clock this morning? No, but it did wake me up; I was notified of the event by text message from a friend currently in New Zealand who quipped "that quake has probably improved housing conditions in your neck of the woods, eh?" Genius! I deleted it and slipped back into a dream in which Charlton Heston repeatedly mouthed the words "over my dead body" at me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 27, 2008 I thought some more birds were going to become extinct last night with all the squawking and chirping in the aftermath on the great British earthquake. Did anyone else feel the earth move for them around 1 o'clock this morning? I did. It normally takes me ages to get to sleep, so I got the whole 'experience'. I live in the Midlands, so we got a bit of a ripple. It was larger than the one a few years ago (which I recall was in the middle of the afternoon). First I thought it might have been some explosion or something crashing but then I realised it was a tremor and went to sleep. The place shook but but nothing fell down. Worse have happened when I've played too much bass on my music system... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 27, 2008 Enjoy life on the city farm... A man has been arrested after having sex with a pig. The pervert was caught in the act by a passer-by who spotted him abusing the animal at an inner-city farm. Police arrived within ten minutes of receiving a 999 call and arrested the 72-year-old, who was naked from the waist down. Lynne Bennett, manager of Stepping Stones Farm in Stepney, East London, said the man appeared to have deliberately targeted their most passive pig. She added: 'If he'd picked on one of the others, he would have been in serious trouble. 'They would have done him some damage.' Police bailed the offender until next month and a vet gave the pig a clean bill of health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 8, 2008 Iceland has seen it's first polar bear for 15 years. It was promptly shot dead. There was fog up in the hills and we took the decision to kill the bear before it could disappear into the fog," said the police spokesman Petur Bjornsson. Meanwhile, in Japan a Siberian tiger has mauled to death a zookeeper who had been trying to encourage the animal to mate. Quite how he was trying to get the Tiger to do his thing is unclear. I'm trying not to picture the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
