Quack-o

Making the news this morning in Okayama; a duckling that can paddle backwards. There was even an interview with a random elderly lady who looked extremely pleased with herself and said (somewhat predictably), "I have been coming to this park and watching the ducks for 12 years and I have never seen one go backwards before." Then they went to the trouble of ringing a "duck specialist" up and asking him what he thought to which he replied, "Hmm, I have never heard of such a thing before. It is strange." Then they cut back to the studio and the newreaders had to pretend to be all interested and surprised about a duck being able to reverse. I just feel so blessed to be living in the part of Japan that is home to such clever ducks.
