That really is interesting. I have often wondered how a little bird's brain survives those thunderous blows without rattling around in its skull like a BB in a bottle.

I meant to say. Maybe we should start a "Really Interesting" thread. But then I thought, who determines what is Mildly Interesting vs. Really Interesting? It's so subjective.

When I was a kid we had this guy Newton somewhere in our school, and he made a bunch of laws.
