FIVE SECOND STORIES

It's a misconception that the same butterflies make the entire migration south for the winter and back. The journey is more of a relay race involving several generations. Scientists are not positive but think that somehow, the genetic memory of directions and where to eat is stored in the chrysalis and passed on to the newborn. A butterfly mapquest with trip advisor!

He had two females in his life, different species with different needs.

Anytime you see ads or posts on YouTube titled "The Truth..." about something, run. 99.9% USDA Prime BS.

Since the other two cats in the household had died, she enjoyed a more peaceful life. They got on her nerves! Now, she had Mom and Dad to herself with concierge dining and door opening services. A decent way to spend your final years for sure.

Once, driving eastward through New Mexico to meet up with his new lover in Oklahoma, he got a sunburned on his face and thighs even though it was January. Things like this happen when you are closer to the Equator.

 FSS update: 1) squirrels sprawled out when it's hot is called "splooting".  2) ISHGTV-well, the concrete turtle in the birdbath has been moved again. Bit of tug of war between Iona and Slick or the community decided to take the matter into their hands.

As seen on TV: Enbridge Energy, famous for the pipeline under the Mackinaw Straits many are fearful of, has launched a peculiar ad. It features a rooster wandering around, while a voiceover crows about what great strides the company is making, not only providing YOU with reliable energy, but moving forward into a cleaner energy future. The rooster visits families, small business owner getting ready to open in the morning etc. Gotta wonder about the rooster-is this some weird schoolboy clever pun that the company is a big cock on the energy scene? Why not a bird or squirrel or big oak? They should be advised: Enbridge fucks up and a response ad will arise with the rooster getting its neck wrung. Yeah, that's what the public did to your cock in court after your ill-advised pipeline sprung a leak, because of YOUR poor maintenance. Corporate hubris on parade!

He thought it would be a fabulous idea to propose to her from the stage while he gave his inaugural TED talk. He asked her to come on up! She reluctantly complied and her response, barely caught on the mike was "let's talk about this later".

Out and about with an English Major: we pulled into Menards and there was a van parked that belonged to some handyman service. Part of their logo emblazoned on the side of the vehicle included a tagline: "If Something Needs Fixi'n, We Can Do It". C spotted the misplaced apostrophe on Fixi'n immediately. We just shook our heads. How did both the company and whoever did the logo work on the van miss this?
