...owl, which is my new favourite animal. Just because.
Anyway, it's only after I googled about it that I realise that owls are suppose to represent wisdom, knowledge, fertility, spirituality amongst other things.
It was then that I decided to abandon my ridiculous prejudices against the poor bird and to give it a chance. And suddenly, it's now my new favourite animal.
And anyway I think my prejudices were not very logical anyway. It all stemmed from somebody telling me that the owl can twist its head all the way round. To me, I naturally, or unnaturally thought it could turn its head 360 degrees and then round and round again, which really makes no sense because it will mean that the owl's head is disengaged from the rest of its body which will mean it's either really weird or really dead. The real deal is, the owl can turn its head up to 270 degrees!
I wish I can turn my head 270 degrees; it would be fun I think plus it would really freak a lot of people out. I like the idea of freaking people out.
But more than wishing I could turn my head 270 degrees, I want to be as wise as an owl.

Duh! They can turn their heads 360 degrees. They can keep going too, 720, 1080... See, owls have a 'sliding plunger' bone structure known medically as the 'maximus iocus' which pivots axially in the neck, and a fork bone which is fixed to the end of the maximus iocus and on which the head is positioned, what's known as a 'guide bone' transmits the rotational movement from the owl's head to the iocus, allowing the owl to rotate it's neck with a full 360° rotation. I mean DUH!
Don't you just wish there were more blogs about green apple trees out there? I've been browsing for ages now... NOT ONE GOD DAMN GREEN APPLE TREE BLOG!
I'm sure it bothers you just as much as it does me, I think you should make a stand! GREEN APPLE TREES need more coverage don't you agree?
I'll leave it with you, I'm sure you can do it. Honestly, what is our society coming to when no one blogs about what REALLY MATTERS?
Even appletreeblog.com don't blog about apple trees, it's just a luring title to attract people before subjecting them to global warming and world war blogs! We want apple trees, green ones!
(I giess that's the last time I get a scoop!)
