Seven birds doing a-something

What?
You’re honestly surprised?

It’s more birds.

Of course.

Mean-ass birds at that. Seven swans a-swimming, if you must know.

At first pass, I was going to share a boring fact about how I was told that the Queen of England owns all the swans in Great Britain, but I did some research and it turns out that in all actuality she owns all wild swans of the ‘mute’ swans species living in open water.

***yawn***

The rest of them are public property and good eating.

Apparently some of you Brits think it’s treason to kill a swan (let alone eat it) and the crime carries the death penalty…but it turns out you’d be wrong. I don’t know what the punishment actually is, but The Green Mile it is not.

Anyway, enough about swans.

Instead, how about a list of things you probably shouldn’t do while driving across the state of Washington in bad weather?

  • Make a sandwich
  • Search through your iPod for “Pale Moon”
  • Update your Twitter status
  • Open a partially shaken up bottle of fizzy water
  • Write an email on your Blackberry
  • Look for a Starbucks on the non-cooperating GPS unit which soon sends you down a dirt road
  • Clean lettuce shreds out of your cleavage
  • Research the lyrics to Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door”
  • Knit a sweater
  • Play Scrabble
  • Carve an ice sculpture
  • Perform open heart surgery
  • Translate the Upanishads from the original Hindi
