This weeks addition from EK’s Star Log:

Star Log started out in life as a place for writer’s, or at least that’s what I had intended it to be. That’s why you well find so many posts such as Writing Exercises, and info about writing fiction. Well, once again, today’s post for Weirdly Wednesday is on a writing theme:

Poe’s Military Career: Nevermore

Edgar Allan Poe joined the U.S.Army straight out of college and was so good he quickly rose to regimental sergeant major. He even went on to West Point, but soon felt the lure of the writer’s life. But how to get out of the Academy? He chose a novel way of doing it. Legend has it that when cadets were called to a parade and ordered to wear “white belt and gloves’” Poe showed up  stark naked – except for a white belt and gloves. End of military career.

That’s why you well find so many posts such as Writing Exercises, and info about writing fiction. Well, so far my posts for Weirdly Wednesday, have had nothing to do with writing. Today that changes, after I found this bit of short sci-fi: THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT.
LOL!

ROTFLMAS!

A Chinese Scientist discovered that the Earth is round during the Han Dynasty by measuring the sun and moon’s path in the sky. He recorded this fact down in the imperial records but went unnoticed until it was unearthed recently but Chinese archaeologists.

and so, here is my addition to the weirdness for this day:
The two-foot long bird called a Kea that lives in New Zealand likes to eat the strips of rubber around car windows!

Kea – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Habitat & Nutrition

Keas range along the whole South Island of New Zealand, yet they are closely bound to the southern beech (Nothofagus) forests in the alpine ridge. In one study nest sites occur at a density of 1 per 4.4km². Nest sites are usually positioned on the ground underneath large beech trees, in rock crevices or dug burrows between roots. They are accessed by tunnels leading back 1m to 6m into a larger chamber, which is furnished with lichens, moss, ferns and rotting wood. The laying period starts in January and reaches into July (Jackson 1960). As omnivores, Kea are known to feed on more than 40 plant species (Tab. 1), on beetle larva, meat and foods provided by humans. Keas have also been taking advantage of human garbage and “gifts”. In captivity, these birds are very fond of butter, all forms of nuts, apples, carrots, grapes, mangos, figs, bread, dairy products, ground meat and even pasta. When roaming around, They might even chip paint the roofs of cars (if cars are near) and eat that.
