Cats can fly backwards, too. It just depends upon how hard one kicks them. |
But cats aren't birds :-)

Ostrich is red meat and tastes like beef. The average ostrich egg weighs about 3lbs. and is a single cell.

Pattie Boyd also inspired Harrison's "Something" and another song not named in this summary of a show interviewing her about her new autobiography:
It was the best of times for Pattie Boyd. Her modeling career was booming and the sixties were exploding on the London scene. One day she got a call - she'd been cast in a Beatles film. The rest is history. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll meet the woman who inspired three of the most famous rock songs of all time, from George Harrison's "Something" to Eric Clapton's "Layla."

I like to just use a random animal. My wife and I honeymooned in Alaska a couple of years ago -seems so much longer some how :)- and one day I had a musk ox burger for lunch. Later in the day we took a sunset whale watching cruise. We were talking to another couple on the boat and my wife mentioned the musk ox burger. They asked me, "Wow, what did that taste like." I said, with an utterly straight face, "hippo." They just looked at me for a moment and changed the subject.

Haha - classic! I'll remember that next time something like that happens (and yup it does in my life it seems - ever tried lamb testicles? well they taste like lamb's testicles really... ;))
