Random Sunday Night: WTFbird?

26 04 2009

Random Sunday Nighters, this week has been especially stressful for me. I finished up a couple of presentations on possible ocean anoxia at the Permo-Triassic boundary, read papers about the geomorphology of Mars, and spent the past two days camping and tracing the Barrovian Sequence and mapping Stony Point Battlefield. I have a very sunburnt shoulder and a sore piercing (but hey, what else is new?) so I turn to Youtube, of course, to take away thinking about the fact that I have a dentist’s appointment at 9:15 tomorrow morning. My friend Ashley links me to this:

The latter bird, as I would later google, is a male Superb Bird of Paradise.

AND IT SCARES THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.

The great thing about nature, ladies and gentlemen, is that it is so truly unbelievable. And that, in and of itself, makes it believable.

The semester’s almost over, and hopefully – HOPEFULLY – regular science posting will pick back up. Thanks for your patience!

LOL I don’t know why but that bird cracks me up. It was the best part of that earth movie, for sure.
