Just another day at the office.

By lunchtime on Thursday I had travelled in: two cars, a plane, two boats and a helicopter.

But I didn't meet this guy and his mates until after lunch.

Remind me not to save any owls, anytime soon.

This from Acid Cow.

So a great horned owl was found walking on the side of a freeway, in the middle of somewhere. Some people discovered him, scooped him up, put him in a cardboard box, took a photo of him and moved him to state park.

This picture says one thing to me, and one thing only.

Be very afraid.

Disneyland Dwarves

Coming in at 1'60, or 5ft 3 ins, my friends take great delight in taking the piss out of my height. I have one bastard friend who often says, 'Don't dwarves die at thirty? ( If they do, then I am a miracle.Oh, that's right, I'm not - technically - a dwarf.)

However, did you know that discrimination has sent a community of dwarves to set up their own village in China?

In order to join the mountain commune in Kunming in southern China, you gotta come in under 4ft 3ins tall. And if you're a dwarf, and always harboured a desire to be in either the police force or the fire brigade but never could cause you never made the height requirement, well, this place is for you - cause they've got their own police force and fire brigade for all of their 120 residents.

And the enterprising little buggers have turned themselves into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses,living and dressing like fairy tale characters and performing musical numbers.
As you do.

BIG questions I am asking myself.

Why is it that the days I spontaneously decide to go shoe shopping always seem to coincide with the days that I am wearing mismatched socks?

We saw a real live island.

My sister was driving passed Lake Taupo with the five year old and the seven year old. 'Ooh Mummy!' exclaimed the five year old, 'a floating hill!'

It's almost as good as the time (yes, I have banged on about this before) when, she bought her back a camel from Dubai when she was two and she looked at it and cried, 'A horse turtle!'

From the show Wife Swap. Don't judge me. ...

...cause I am really not lying when I say I don't watch the show. I don't.



And the question is, what will that child do when he grows up?

?

Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Sumatra, Vietnam, the Phillipines, Cambodia.

What the fuck is going on in the world?
