Smarter than the average swallow

Birds nesting in an underground parkade could have been locked in when the parkade was converted to a campus bike centre with doors on the end. The swallows quickly learned how to trigger the motion detectors to open the doors and go in and out whenever they want. Smart birds!

We humans think we are brighter than we often are, take @wotsit4 for example. Likewise animals are a lot brighter than we often give them credit for.

That crows are intelligent and use tools is understood but a crow snowboarding...



Now that's an intelligent and fun loving bird!

Vile, disgusting animal cruelty in Gaza - Warning, extremely graphic video

This piece of video from Gaza of extreme cruelty to animals is simply disgusting. I couldn't watch it all the way through. I wonder how many pro-Palestinian (which really means anti-Israel or often anti-Semitic) activists will decry this video and how many will somehow blame Israel/the Jews?

Thanks to Israelly Cool for the spot.

If dogs could feed themselves...

Cute video of dogs, dogs and dogs.

Just when you thought the Muslim Brotherhood couldn't stoop any lower - Muslim Brotherhood caught using puppies as fire bombs

The Washington Post reports that:

'A pet rescue operation has saved three puppies from Muslim Brotherhood clutches, after discovering the militant members were dousing the animals with gasoline, setting them on fire and throwing them into the chaos of a Tahrir Square demonstration, as makeshift bombs.

Robyn Urman, a rescuer with the New Jersey group, Pet ResQ Inc, said this isn't the first time Muslim Brotherhood members had been busted trying to use animals as gasoline-fired bombs, Breitbart reported. And this particular discovery didn't end well for all the dogs.

Egypt's Coptic Christians face unprecedented reprisals from the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood members were caught near Tahrir pouring gasoline over more than 20 puppies — but only three could be saved.'

More here at the Washington Post but almost certainly not on the pro Muslim Brotherhood BBC.

Double entendre of the day?

The BBC report that:

'A passenger on a plane travelling to Luton Airport from Israel has been questioned by police after a snake was discovered on the flight.

The man had brought his "small pet snake" on-board the Easyjet flight from Tel Aviv, the airline confirmed.

A spokesman said passengers were "not in any danger". It was later found to be a "harmless" corn snake.'

But it was this that caught my eye:

'Hugo Allon tweeted: "My plane is being met by police because someone brought a snake on board and whipped it out mid flight. Never a dull moment with Easyjet."'

Whipped his snake out during a flight, was it hidden in his trousers?

As seen on tonight's Have I Got News For You...

Rabies shot for the number 3 or so that's why goalkeepers wear gloves

Now what could the explanation be?

The Mail reports the confusing news that:

'Dozens of Mobula Ray fish were mysteriously washed up on the beach in Gaza City yesterday and carted off to market by Palestinian fishermen.

It was the first time the fish had been seen on the beach for six years, according to a local video report purporting to show fisherman examining the Rays.'

This article caught my eye as I love rays and indeed have swum with them. People do eat rays, so I did a bit of digging and found this on Ma'an News - Ma’an Network is the largest independent TV, radio and online media group in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

'GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Fishermen say the locally rare batfish stingray is making a comeback in the waters off the coast of Gaza. For the first time in five years, fishermen say they are catching the rays by the hundreds. The batfish ray takes a triangular shape with large wings -- some are as large as 80 kilograms. A kilo of the ray sells for 10 shekels ($2.68) in local markets. "People in al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City rush to buy the batfish and consider it healthy, especially for little kids," said Mahfouth al-Kabariti, the head of the Gaza fishermen's union.'

Washed up on the beach?

I expect the BBC to report this story, just as soon as they can find a way to blame the Jews Israel.
