Boy, I hope this trend continues.
That headline did not lead to the story I [del]hoped for[/del] expected.
It’s an article about great tits. Good to see we are being kept abreast of the weather situation.
Before I opened the link, I was thinking that it might be an article about women wearing skimpier clothing. I guess I wasn’t far off.
What are you Canadians worried about anyhow? Aren’t you guys slated to be among the global climate change winners (as opposed to the US, which is going to be a big desert, except those parts that are under water)?
If the US ever becomes a big desert, all you guys are going to start marching north. We’d like a little warning before we have to set the table for 300,000,000.
How’d you like to be a country 1/10th the population of the one to the south of you when your real estate starts to become very desirable? A country with a huge armory, nuclear arsenal and track record of expansion when it needs to? I’d say they’ve plenty to worry about should we become a desert.
Not that there are any great tits in Canada, so they’re probably safe for the immediate future.
This article is making the rounds amongst friends and coworkers. Excellent.
I saw that on the BBC website and thought, “Somebody will start a Doper thread about this. Me, if no one else.” Thanks for coming through, folks.
I would like to know how the not-so-great tits are faring, though.
Now can we start a caption contest for the tit portrait farther down the page? After discarding the obvious “What are YOU looking at?!” my entry is “Watch where you’re going with that thumb, jerk!”
