*Gats wrings his hands* I never actually called it an 'addiction' - just shocking numbers of how many watch that thing after I looked it up. I don't yark at our esteemed Gemini. Really, I don't  . She ought to skip the TV during dinner, though  . Anyway, onto seeing who these families are...

*Woo Hoo!* [put some some sort of beat here*]
"We're boys
Not toys,
know what we enjoys.
We rule.
Screw school!
We none play the fool.
We step up
We mess up
But we're on a roll.
This time.
You girls watch out
Since we guys are about.
Fiddle Dee-dee and so much for that -
We're gentleman really and STILL tip our hat."
*Lord, take me now for that entry. Woke up from my long summer's nap feeling witty. Scary!*
-beat-! -beat-!
Edited because I messed up some grammar. Could anyone expect anything less?

Thursday, 22 September1) Something that plugs into a computer, ie, a peripheral. 2) The obligatory Scrabble question. Give me a three-letter word that has two 'A's. 3) My favourite radio station is WSFM (Sydney Australia). Who is a DJ there? (Help available on this one) 4) Tell me a joke and punchline that fills in the gaps. "How many ______ does it take to change a lightbulb?" 5) A track off the classic album, 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap', by AC/DC. I will close this one day in the near future, hopefully around Sunday.

Bewick's Swan is usually considered a subspecies of the Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus). In this case the Bewick's Swan scientific name is given as "Cygnus columbianus bewickii". The other subspecies is the Whistling Swan (Cygnus columbianus columianus)
Some scientists consider the Whooper and the Trumpeter Swan as the same species but they are usually listed as two separate species.
