Ireland Gets New Mammal To Ferment! Breweries Ecstatic!

Aye! Top ‘o the mornin’ ta ya! New news from the Land of Ire!

Seems there is a new mammal visiting Ireland! The whole scoop is here - at Science Daily - where Irish owls are smiling!

This critter - the greater white-toothed shrew - has not ever been seen in Ireland prior to now. Probably because the owls have been eating all of ‘em until now.

Professor Farcas Coypu - scientific wonder and all-around know-it-all - says,”

As part of his PhD, Dave Tosh was studying the diet of the Barn Owl in Ireland. Last winter John Lusby, Barn Owl Research Officer from Bird Watch Ireland, sent him pellets (regurgitated - that’s throw’ed up to you morons - food remains) from owls in Tipperary and Limerick to help with the study. No limericks were authored, though.

Davie-boy explained: “It was amongst the latest batch of owl shit that I was about to dry in an oven, that I noticed a very large shrew skull. Then I wrote this limerick - just to piss off Coypu - that dickwad!:

I was sortin’ through owl shit one night

When I spotted a turd that weren’t right.

I said, “Hey! Its a shrew!”

— And a big fella, too!

With some teeth that sure stayed mighty white!

It was shown to professor Coypu

Who then asked, “Did this come from the doo?

“Well then, the cloaca that crap’d it

Will need to be capped - it

might drooble while hooting a “who?” !

“Having looked at hundreds of pellets from Ireland already I knew that what I was looking at was very unusual as our native pygmy shrew is very small in comparison. But I ignored it and continued with my - um - researches with Coypu’s daughter and her two friends.

“Afterwards, I ended up looking through more and more owl shit and discovered more and more of the strange shrew skulls.”

And in other news:

Check out this French bridge!

Now, is that not an ass-kicker of a bridge? Damn - those Frogs have sure learned a lot since they built the Maginot Line. They’ve learned to build really good fog, too!

The whole story - in photos so we don’t get confused - is over at Pravda, where the truth is a many-splendered thing! here is another photo:

Now - personally - I would like to drive that squiggly road down there at the bottom at about Oh-Shit! miles-per-hour. Make that Eh-Merde! Km-per-hour since its a EU road. Who’s with me!?

Here are some dirty pictures.
