Birds are used as a metaphor for nest building (creating a home and family) and bees are a metaphor for procreation (ie: pollin is to bees as sperm is to humans). I don't think anyone actually uses birds and bees to explain the facts of life to kids anymore (if ever). The expression is just used as a way of referring to that heart to heart talk that fathers have with their sons and that mothers have with their daughters. But, it really doesn't mean that fathers and mothers actually use birds and bees as analogies when explaining all of this to their kids. Nov 23 02, 3:26 PM

Where did the phrase "It's all Greek to me" originate? I just saw the movie "The Birds" and I would like to know what made those birds act the way they did because they didn't tell us in the movie? In baseball, could anyone tell me what 'B' might stand for. I was looking at a box score on espn.com, and a pitcher recorded his 5th 'B' of the season. Just curious? Can anyone tell me how (by just looking at it) can u tell a venemous snake from a non-vecemous snake ( im asking this because i have snakes in my back yard and i want to safely remove them)?
