...as in my last post, I came across this peculiar bird, trying to find a picture of the "Burger King" king...you know that "creepy" guy with the plastic head that seems to appear from no-where with breakfast in hand...he even startles a guy when he wakes up and finds the "king" in bed with him. This ad campaign drips with creepiness.
...So, anyway back to the bird, He's called...The Subservient Chicken...also sponsored by "Burger King", (who's in charge there by the way), and when you go to the web site of this bird, you type in a command for him to do, and as his name implies he will do it, within limits... but I find it almost as "creepy" as the "king"...try it out...you decide!!! Here's a picture of the "creepy" bird:
...Now I'm not much for charities and causes but, this one "Screamed" at me for some reason. I learned about these magnificent birds from an "Orvis" catalog that I received and decided to make it a cause of mine and maybe a few of you can help too.
First of all...these Endangered Whooping Cranes were on the verge of extinction and by 1944 there were only twenty-one birds left. These elegant birds stand nearly five feet tall and have a wingspan of eight feet. They hatch the eggs in Wisconsin, and when they are old enough to migrate for the first time, an Ultralight shows them the way to Florida. Of the 53 cranes that have already made the southward trip from 2001 to 2004, forty-five (45) remain. They range in age from 4 years to less than 1 year and continue to act as wild Whooping cranes.
Orvis, the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, and the Wolf Creek Charitable Foundation will match contributions made to the project dollar-for-dollar. This makes your $100 contribution a $400 contribution to the 2005 Whooping Crane Migration project. Please send a tax-deductible contribution to: ICF Whooping Crane Migration Project Orvis Dept.
