In order to vote in a Blawnox, Pennsylvania, you must first apologize for all your sins to a giant statue of George Washington. Of course there is no real law that requires this, but the Blawnox poll watchers will not give you the little “I voted” sticker on the way out if you do not. ---

Parakeet hatred of butter goes back to prehistory before the invention of the churn, when prehistoric man made butter by feeding parakeets milk and then making them fly around with a string on their foot until it churned into butter in their stomach. One parakeet made approximately enough butter for one cracker. Butter making was considered men’s work in prehistoric times, though catching the parakeets and collecting their feathers for use in parade floats was women’s work. ---
