    No problem for swan, humans aren’t on the endangered species list

    I can’t imagine any married couple would be successful in their attempt to not use the bathroom for those 3 days. There must be a lot of pooping and peeing in pants there—I would have to abstain from that tradition!

    Swans are one mean animal. They will attack for no reason if they decide they don’t want you arojnd.

    He was ‘up the creek without a paddle’ when he sang his swan song.

    My two-year-old grandson got bit by a swan that attacked him for no apparent reason.

    Would someone please explain to me why the Tidong community came up with this custom? And are they allowed to pass gas?

    The Tidong community came up with this weird custom — for what purpose?.Most probably these people are human beings. Human beings are supposed to be somewhat intelligent. Obviously, that is just a surmise.So, that does it — I hereby resign from the human race~!

    Geese are very mean; swans are much worse.!

    Canadian Geese have invaded our area. If you approach them, they just waddle away, usually into water and swim away.They do get defensive when nesting, though!

    Probably some drunk best man dared the groom….

    OK now it makes perfect sense. Thank you for your explanation.

    The swan was in a pond near a condominium complex. It was put there to keep geese away. He was checking on it when he capsized and drowned. Apparently he was trapped in his capsized kayak. Not nearly as interesting as “Ripley’s” makes it sound.

    The bladder holds about 800 CC. After that you wet your pants.
