This is a space toilet ! looks quite complicated to meToilet trouble for space station
International Space Station astronauts are eagerly awaiting the arrival of shuttle Discovery - it is bringing a new pump to mend their broken toilet.

Wild side makes parrot speachless
A parrot who never stopped chattering lost his voice after four days' freedom in the wilds of Cambridgeshire. Harley, an African Grey, used to call his owners "Mum" and "Dad", could recite his telephone number and was never lost for words.But after four days in the wild he appears to have lost his tongue and has returned traumatised, skinny and mute. Apparently freedom is not always good. We should send some politicians "in the wilds of Cambridgeshire" !

Pinhead has a point to make

How do they know the skinny silent bird is the SAME bird who was released??? If he doesn't LOOK the same and he doesn't ACT the same - maybe he is NOT the same! (I'm just sayin'...)
ReplyDeleteOh my....that 'pin head' is gross. Ewwwwwwwwww.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing Melli was too.
Can you just imagine all those pins?
ReplyDeleteLove the royals news. I always find it fascinating!
You do find fascinating news! And your comments always make it even better.
