"Beware of Parrots!"

I am now officially afraid of parrots. They look so sweet and innocent with their chirpy demeanor and their little red beaks -- but just take a closer look...

Take the word "parrot"

P A R R O T

Divide it down the middle

P A R | R O T

Now reverse each half

P A R --> R A P

R O T --> T O R

Combine the two halves

R A P | T O R

R A P T O R

RAPTOR!

See! Parrots are nothing but dyslexic raptors!

If you see one, run for your life!

"Dues Ex Bovina"

Ever since I posted "Bovine Intervention", I have noticed that a lot more cows seem to be getting in my way. It can't just be coincidence...

I have the following theories to explain this phenomenon:

1) I am just paying more attention to the cows because of the post.

Basically, I'm being more observant towards them since I made the post, and remembering more 'hits'.

But then, the post was made based on my observations in the first place!

2) The cows read my blog and are getting in my way just to spite me.

Yeah! That must be it!

"Metaphor"

(Earlier: Meta-, Meta-Meta-, and Meta³)

Meta Four is a pun.

Sorry.

You sat through 3 days of meta-discussions and all you got was a lousy figure of speech. (If you're willing to pay me, I could still get you a T-shirt.)

"Meta³"

(aka "Meta-Three" or "Meta-Meta-Meta-")

I wrote a post ("Meta-") as an introspective post on completing one year of this blog, which made that a meta post.

Then I wrote a post wondering about why I wrote that post about this blog ("Meta-Meta-"), which made that post a meta post on a meta post.

Now I'm writing this post, commenting on how the previous post is a meta-meta- post, which makes this one a meta-meta-meta- post!


~ when will this stop?

"Meta-Meta-"

So I wrote this post yesterday ("Meta-") about completing one year of this blog, which got me wondering -- what is the big deal? Why is there all this fuss over birthdays, anniversaries and the like?

Yes, it's been 12 whole months today, no doubt. But yesterday, it was 11 months and 29 days, and tomorrow it will be 12 month and 1 day!

Now,
12m+1d > 12m.

So shouldn't that be a greater achievement than completing 12m? But somehow, only the 'one year completion' gets glorified. It isn't fair.
