Did you see me on the Simpsons?

Okay, neither did I. But, what do you think, did I capture my essence as a Simpson?

I’m a sucker for good flash animations and my mother always taught me to share. So, here’s one featuring a wise wombat that was passed along to me today.

Never let it be said that librarians don’t have a sense of humor. Case in point: a study of Peep research habits at the Millikin University Library. I especially liked the section (and accompanying photos) of how the Peeps behaved while at the library.

Oh I almost forgot… In case you’re wondering about the starlings… After talking with a very helpful person at Wild Birds Unlimited (a great place to buy bird stuff by the way), I changed the feed I was putting out to safflower seeds, which the starlings don’t like.

And for those of you who lean more toward the conservative side of politics, lighten up and visit the site. It’s April Fool’s Day!
