Of course, and don't call me Shirley!

(Mountaineer, it's a play on trying juveniles as adults, combined with the racial bias in our criminal justice system).

Surely, Shirley, you cleared that up.  I thought I knew what the Onion was like but since I almost never read it, I was not sure.  It looked so real.  :o

Well, yeah, even the story & interview of the fat kid who avoids torment by swimming with his shirt on looks genuine, because they do it so well.  :)

Poor Nine Inch Nails. :-)

Here's an eagle owl coming in for a landing. (22 seconds).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAz1L8DlvBM

It was linked by a Washington Post article describing how crows plague the Kremlin: picking the gold leaf off domes, harrassing tourists, and even stealing classified papers to build a nest. So the Kremlin has some falcons and an eagle owl in its employ to frighten the crows away.

If I saw these wings and talons coming at me, I'd be frightened.
