Descriptions, Polemics, and Lies:

This rehash of hashes previous needs little writeup. Hey Yo got lost and it was 
too short, but finished in a nice down-scale bar, whose denizens ignored us. There 
were thorns, a four-mark false trail, many skulls of dead creatures, but not much 
mud (see below).

Let me address instead the important question of the day:

Since the Duck isn't emailing us his avian tales lately, I leap into the 
yawning (!) void. You have doubtless noticed the unusual large flocks of robins 
this January. People have been wondering whether these are late leavers or early 
arrivals (the birds are idiots in either case). Neither explanation is correct, 
however. In truth, these robins are the result of the unusually dry weather we 
have been having. When a duck is out of water for more than four hours, it 
transforms into a robin. Robins, in turn, become sparrows, sparrows devolve into 
wrens, and wrens into hummingbirds. After that, the birds become too small and 
rapidly moving for the human eye to apprehend, and thus they vanish from our 
consciousness. The whole process is a variation on the well-known "paperclip-
coathanger-bicycle" triad. The paperclip is the larval form of the coathanger, 
and so on.

Science marches on!
