Think outside the nest

By Animals

outside the box

I think for me, ‘thinking outside the box’ has become the new ‘why did the chicken cross the road’. So many opportunities for a fun and quirky interpretation.

But back to our humble chicken… Yet again I’ve troweled the internet to find the best of the best chicken jokes (by the way, Google provided me with a choice of 3.68 million options). So, rather than providing you with bog standard, Top 10 best ever why did the chicken cross the road jokes, I’ve found a highly intellectual take on the subject in question. Drum roll please…

Harvard University physics department has dedicated a page to answering the question through the mouths of famous physicists. From Einstein, to Sagan, to Pascal – they’re all in there. Enjoy!

So what’s your favourite chicken joke?

 

Bad Hair Day

Cartoon of a bad hair day

…I’ll let you be the judge…

Speaking personally, bad hair days I can cope with; but the first day I spotted a grey hair took the concept to a whole new level. No longer was it confined to the constraints of a day, this was the beginning of a journey I was not mentally prepared for. So I did what any sensible person in denial would do…I plucked it out.

How do you deal with bad hair days?

Warning: Budgie smugglers spotted on the streets of Melbourne

By Animals

Not sure how well known outside of Australia is the ‘budgie smuggler’. It was coined a long time back with the manufacturing of the Speedo bathers – tight fitting racing style men’s bathers. Some say it is an adaption of the English term ‘grape smugglers’. Either way, I think you’ll agree with me that budgie smugglers conjures a more humorous image.

Flamingo a go go

By Animals


This cartoon was one of the first Fact or Fiction cartoons I came up with.  I like the idea, but possibly its a bit obscure if you are not aware of the reason behind the colouring of the flamingo’s feathers. The feathers are actually dyed by the food they eat, which contains carotene, giving their plumage a soft pink hue.
