    Where do these Japanese crows get their nuts from? I’ve lived in Japan for decades and have never seen or heard of this.

    I have seen this in Hungary too. They’re very clever birds.

    I’ve always figured there was something going between those ears. I was driving on I-91 just south of Barton, VT and saw a crow sitting on the outside of the white line, he flew up and across the road, he then landed outside of the yellow line as if he knew what the lines were for.

    I lived in Japan for 33 years and never saw crows do that. Doesn’t mean they don’t somewhere in Japan. Just never noticed such a thing.

    I wonder if the inventor of the internet also invented the algorithm and named it after himself.

    OK, ok, I’m just kidding. I have absolutely nothing against him, but I cannot resist a good pun.

    From the TV Tropes Wiki a while back: “I think pretty much all the ways to insult people were explored in depth shortly after the invention of language.” “Which is about the same time your mom was explored in depth.”

    The government is wasting time and money to determine the “optimal” time to drink coffee?? Any coffee drinker could tell them – when you feel you need it!

    Seagulls have learned to drop Clams and Quahogs on the paved roads and parking lots near the beach.Tough luck if your car happens to be there when it happens.
