I'm bored beyond words, tell me something interesting

or funny, or strange, or whatever.

5. Have you been to this website?

www.tomatonation.com

I like reading the advice column she writes, "The Vine." Tres snarky.

9. Envy, Jealousy, and more Envy

I wish I was there. I found a finch hurt in a thunderstorm and nursed him back to health (almost lost my job because I had to go home every twenty minutes and check on him).

Take some pictures of the kids and send 'em along!

I have a few species of finches. I have zebras, a black-hooded nun, and a spice finch. Here are a few in their aviary.

edit: used the wrong "their!" oops!

19. We used to have zebra finches. One flew in the door to our

apartment, it was almost all white. It was lonely, so we got it a friend.

Then we got eggs. They didn't hatch. More eggs.

The second batch hatched. And a few days later the male died.

The poor little fledglings never learned how to make a zebra finch call.

We gave them back to the pet store. (And a few weeks later a lizard ran in. We lived in LA, if a pet escapes, it doesn't die.)

23. Finches are fun!

I love our finches. I have a breeding log (we have had several babies). The last two fledglings died though. :( It was very sad. I "bury" our birds in trees that way they can "fly" off.

8. Pretty much all you need to know about the US's Guano Island Acts of 1856

http://www.guano.com/thismonth/main.htm

http://www.followingtheequator.com/history/fte_actof1856.htm

In its infinite wisdom, the 34th Session of the United States Congress legislated that any unclaimed and uninhabited island anywhere in the world that possessed guano (in other words, bird droppings in various stages of petrification) was U.S. territory if an American citizen claimed it first.

11. Thank you, but

if it were possible to be more bored than I already am, that would have done it. On the other hand... bird crap and American Imperialism... I can see a doctoral thesis in there somewhere....

My partner and I have been together for three years TODAY!!! YEA!!! He is a great guy, hard-working and, even though I am still without a job, he doesn't expect me to become "Betty Bitch n' Bake!" I get to take care of our animals.

21. Thanks!!

You still bored?! I hate being bored. With all the things around me I should never get bored, but, alas, it does happen!

So, how's about something random...I miss my dead gay fish! :(

22. Ah yes,

but what is the square root of negative one? First correct answer wins a prize (or doesn't).

25. And you win the prize

which is, frankly, only the satisfaction of knowing you were the first one with the right answer.
