yep, we give humans way too much in the way of exclusive ability to think
and reason. & dont forget, some of these other critters have had eons of
evolutionary expertise in dealing with the occasional problems of human
interference! and they win too! we seem to be ruthless killers for no
reasons at all!

release of grey parrots from zoo in NY city awhile back, they migrated east
to connecticut, began habitating/building HUGE stick nests around (what
else) telephone poles cross arms, complete with transformers and 14 KV feed
thru lines!

30-40 birds per nest, quite a probem for power crews! of course, animal
rights folks went nuts when they had to start removing them!. u can read
articles abt in news archives. quite interesting

:-))

They're cleverer than you think. One escaped, and flew from tree to tree
waiting for me to chase after him. Came back the following day by himself,
after flying for miles all over the place.

Is it really true that turning on a microwave with nothing in it will
break it?

Even more worrying - will it catch fire or explode?

Don't they have a safety cutout? Can't it sense the Klystron
overheating,
or a build up of microwaves over a certain level?

I have purchased a new microwave which has an easier to grab control.
I'm
concerned one of my pet parrots will switch it on! (Seriously, they do
stuff like that)

A Pakistani arrives in London City all excited. He stops the first
person
he meets. "Good day, Mr. British, thank you to accept me in Your nice
country", but the person interrupts and says: "I am not British, I'm
Chinese."
The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by. "Thank
you
Mr. British for to let my family and me stay here... " Again, he's
interrupted before finishing his sentence. "I no be British, I be Turk!"
He goes a little farther and meets another person and greets him "thank
you for letting me come to your beautiful country." ... "I'm not
British,
I'm Kosavon."
"But," answers the Pakistani distressed, "where are the British??"
The Kosavon looks at his watch and says ..... "Probably at work."
