A day at the Zoo
10:19:54 AM: TBK has headed off with the big zoo keeper, his first task is mucking the farm animals out!
11:35:08 AM: Sheltering from a rain storm in a hut and observing a male Lion trying to convince a female Lion she wants some loving. Exciting stuff!
12:31:19 PM: The school kids on the table next to us in the restaurant appear to have the female reincarnation of Hitler as their teacher. Poor buggers!
1:46:11 PM: I met a talking Raven called Jill today. She was pretty chatty, for a Raven.
4:10:49 PM: A baby meercat just stole Steph’s heart! And TBK just fed the Penguins!
4:30:59 PM: Just watched an African Python consume an entire rat in one go. Awesome!
Swine Flu Bands
A couple of weeks ago, as the world was gripped with Swine Flu fever (forgive the pun!), a great game emerged on Twitter. Feeling somewhat disillusioned with the mainstream media’s attempt at convincing us we were “all going to die”, a bunch of twitter users began various games based around a swine flu theme.
My favourite game to emerge was the ’swine flu bands’ game, where you had to come up with as many musician/band names that played on words related to swine flu as possible, and tag them with the Twitter hashtag #swineflubands – these could then be viewed on Twitter Search.
I got rather carried away one afternoon and came up with a bunch, whilst laughing my socks off at some of the names that other Twitter users had come up with.
Check out the #swineflubands I came up with here, and everybody else’s here.
