Yeah.  All the bandwidth is being used to spam the rest of the world with "Could you help me?" e-mails about some sap deposed prince who needs to cash his $2mil inheritance through a U.S. bank.

Uh-huh.

I want a carrier pigeon... If only I could train my rats to carry messages from end of the house to the other without getting distracted, run away or eaten...

Why do I suddenly have the Monty Python and the Holy Grail's opening bit about swallows going through my head?

Oh and the average speed of an unladen swallow is 11 meters per second. Doesn't matter if it's African or European. The increased musculature of the African variety just barely compensates for the increased drag caused by it's larger aerodynamic profile and the extra inertial drag caused by it's increased weight.

GAWD! I am such a geek for knowing that.

Because I'm like this:

From dictionary.com

Quote
Our Living Language  : Our word geek is now chiefly associated with contemporary student and computer slang, as in computer geek. In fact, geek is first attested in 1876 with the meaning "fool," and it later also came to mean "a performer engaging in bizarre acts like biting the head off a live chicken." Perhaps the use of geek to describe a circus sideshow has contributed to its current popularity. The circus was a much more significant source of entertainment in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries than it is now, and large numbers of traveling circuses left a cultural legacy in various unexpected ways. Superman and other comic book superheroes owe much of their look to circus acrobats, who were similarly costumed in capes and tights. We also owe the word ballyhoo to the circus; its ultimate origin is unknown, but in the late 1800s it referred to a flamboyant free musical performance conducted outside a circus with the goal of luring customers to buy tickets to the shows inside. Other words and expressions with circus origins include bandwagon (coined by P.T. Barnum in 1855) and Siamese twin.

**musical interlude**

...So let the side show begin.
Hurry, hurry,
step right on in....
