If my mother asks me to clean my room and I did this, my mother would be very happy because I never clean my room. My room isnt THAT messy anyway. Some people are just too much.
Also gay flamingos are not that uncommon at all… Just like society..
A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.

Carlos and Fernando had been desperate to start a family, even chasing other flamingos from their nests to take over their eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge near Bristol.
But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.
The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.
“Fernando and Carlos are a same sex couple who have been known to steal other flamingos’ eggs by chasing them off their nest because they wanted to rear them themselves,” said WWT spokeswoman Jane Waghorn.
“They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them so last week, when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents.”
Gay flamingos are not uncommon, she added.
“If there aren’t enough females or they don’t hit it off with them, they will pair off with other males,” she said.

Alright so all this hype in Facebook is kinda ridiculous. Being a member in MySpace is no longer cool since everyone is joining this Facebook thing. I admit I’m a late bloomer. I just signed up to Facebook in December 2006 while my buddies already have like 100 wall posts. It also took me a while to sign up for MySpace. I dont see what the hype is about MySpace expect to show off your ugly html skills on your MySpace page. Then Facebook comes along and it’s even more creepy than MS. People can see what youre writing, who youre ‘friends’ with etc. Yes I know you can turn that off. But really who has the time to change the Privacy Settings. I also had a hard time looking for it.
Ah well. It’s not like I have anything to hide. I log into FB once a day (scary I know) and as soon as I see that I have no Friend requests, no new wall posts and no new messages in my Inbox, I leave. That sounds like I have no friends in FB but really I just dont bother with writing on people’s wall if I have nothing to say. I can just call them right? It’ll die down just like MS in a few years.. And all these new stories about students getting suspended because they posted photos and comments about their teachers is just ridiculous. Who asked teachers to go to FB and look for insults on their photos anyway? If you dont like it, dont go to it. Freedom of speech is no longer relevant to the education system. It’s like theyre going to monitor FB for any cruelty towards their teachers. What’s even better is if these students get smart and start posting videos of their teachers in Youtube. That would be funnier. Who’s going to know if you posted it when you can come up with any nickname you want. Right??
