\u27a2 Scientists tracking seagulls have discovered gulls are so well adapted to human urban environments, they know exactly where to forage for food, and more importantly, when.<\/p>\n
In one of the United Kingdom’s most gull-infested cities, these shrewd birds have figured out when a local school takes its breaks, and they’ve shifted their own meal times accordingly.<\/p>\n
Just before the midmorning and mid afternoon recess, when students begin to unpack their goodies in the school yard, gulls of all sorts can be spotted on the surrounding rooftops, sitting and waiting for the kids to come.<\/p>\n
Scientists counted the highest number of birds at 11:15 am and 12:45 pm, which is also when the schoolyard was most crowded with children.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 A pet food company in England just created the first Christmas song made just for dogs. They used scientific\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0. . . and dog focus groups . . . to put together a Christmas song that’s specifically made to appeal just to dogs.\u00a0 The song is called “Raise the Woof<\/a>” and, quote, “uses a reggae beat and the sounds of bells, squeaky toys, and owners’ instructions to illicit a response from dogs.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 A man in the United Kingdom had to be\u00a0warned by the police<\/a>\u00a0after driving up and down a street in the early morning yelling “wakey wakey” at the top of his lungs.\u00a0 The driver was also seen turning off his headlights and yelling, “you can’t call the police because you can’t see us”.\u00a0 Needless to say he was incorrect.\u00a0 (Here’s a clip from the song\u00a0“Wakey Wakey”<\/a>\u00a0from the musical “A Cabin With a View”.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 On “The Tonight Show”, Dan Levy said his worst fear is “moths and butterflies”.\u00a0 I’ll let him explain why.\u00a0 (From “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday, November 18, 2020)<\/p>\n (The fear of moths or butterflies is a condition called\u00a0Lepidopterophobia<\/a>.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1947 [73] 21-year-old future British Queen Princess Elizabeth II weds 26-year-old Lt Philip Mountbatten in Westminster Abbey, London<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Lonestar<\/strong>\u00a0scored a Number one single in\u00a0Billboard\u00a0<\/em>with “Mr. Mom” in 2004<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n FUNNIEST TWEETS OF THE WEEK FROM PARENTS:<\/u><\/strong> \u21d2 If a parent watches their child in a forest and no one is around to hear them, are they still screaming? \u2013 Richard Dean<\/p>\n \u21d2 4-year-old: Can I have scissors?

So, if the album takes two months, that\u2019s who the artist was when the artist made the album. If it\u2019s like an Eagles record that sometimes . . . or a Boston record that sometimes took, you know, years to create, it\u2019s still a reflection of who that artist is at the time. So it\u2019s no different with Fun. As long as it\u2019s been put off because of the pandemic, it’s still a reflection of who the artist is.\u201d]<\/p>\n Garth & Trisha Live!
