    Are they also suggesting that this product will achieve perpetual motion?

    In theory, it will achieve perpetual motion. In practice, it drinks perpetually until either (1) the water gets warm, or (2) the bird’s head dries off.

    I always thought that “flammable” and “inflammable” meant the same thing, but clearly “non-flammable” would mean it’s not flammable, so this is just false advertising (i.e., lying), isn’t it?

    Jay has a theory that would make it possible to have a flammable non-flammable bird, but I don’t know if I buy it. He says the liquid inside used to be flammable, but now it is non-flammable. The outside plastic, however, might still be flammable, so it is hence a flammable, non-flammable bird.

    I just think it’s a lie.

    Look, a bunch of gays gave you that bird, so yes, it is flaming.

    How are you? Girl, I need to mail you this CD. Rick and I are planning our UK trip after the summer. It is too damn expensive to fly there in July.

    Hey, Jean. How was South Africa? Did you get your study done?
