So I’m reading this field guide to mammals book at the
moment – I was reading it during my lunch break at work and came across a
diagram of skulls. It’s a pretty weird
diagram because first of all I was given this book as a kid because I loved
animals so darn much so being encouraged to examine dead decomposed animals is
just creepy. And second it says
that the bones of small mammals can be found in the pellets of birds of prey
and inside discarded bottles and drinks cans and can be used to tell these
small creatures apart (because they look too similar with their skin on) but
the diagram, while starting with a rat and a shrew, next has a dog and a horse. Now I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure I
could tell the difference between a rat and a horse without the need to see their skeletons.
And exactly how big a discarded drinks can is a HORSE going
to get stuck inside? And third, it turns out that shrews, when down to just the skull level, look an awful lot
like the alien from Alien.
And then I turned the page and discovered a half page
illustration of poo.
And now for Musical Monday,
Today’s being taken from that weird film that dubs children
playing adults with adult voices but only when they sing, because that all makes perfect sense:
Down And Out
