Climate change: Everybody worries about the polar bears but nobody is worrying about the abominable snowman.
I’m certain Cryptozoology and Cryptocurrency are siblings.
Today’s Pointless Bird Site Thread: Age of Consent. As near as I can figure it people are saying it should be age 26 or even 35 yrs. Just in case you missed it.
I may have to commit a wiki soon.
Zombie movies are too much like real life these days.
