Cloaked Birds?

I am the only one who thinks that birds would look so much better in capes and cloaks. It would make birds so much more interesting and would cheer you. Each kind of bird would have a unique cloak/cape. Just imagine a majestic eagle sitting on a tree branch, bundled in thick cloak. And the cloak would have a hood, so that only the beak of the bird could be seen. It would be like a Jedi bird, except it would not solve galactic disputes and wield a mysterious energy.

Of course, the cloaks would only work on big birds, like raptors. I mean, just imagine some tiny sparrow just struggling to stay in the air, vigorously flapping its wings while the cloak weighs it down. For the smaller birds a cape would be ideal, similar to those found on superheroes. Yes, that is the utopia I someday want to live in.

Speaking of birds, do you know there is a cuckoo bird mafia. Seriously, I'm not joking. Cuckoo birds will lay eggs in other birds nests, so that the other bird will raise and care for the chicks. If a bird with cuckoo eggs/chicks refuses to care for the cuckoo eggs, a group of cuckoo birds will come and break the bird's own eggs, until it gives care for the cuckoo eggs. That is pretty messed up eh?

Why Stop Global Warming?

I'm not saying that the effort to stop global warming is bad, far from it, it's an excellent practice that more people should partake in. However, couldn't the money we were spending on it be used for something more useful in the near future. Like researching the technology necessary for terra-forming planets(making them hospitable for life). That way we would be able to get new resources from other planets, and if we were able to live on these other planets why would it matter if the earth is slightly hotter.


Not to mention, that having multiple planets under our control will allow for us to have a more formidable resistance when space lizards decide to attack. Although, lizards would move faster in warmer environments, and if the earth is hotter due to global warming then...my god...the total enslavement/ eradication of the human race will be even swifter. Those crafty space lizards.

Why is there no official comparison for gum?

Gum, gum is many things. To some people it is awesome chewy candy, to others it is a reliable breath freshener, an addictive habit or gross. Whatever, it is, there is one fact that remains. There are far too many brands/types of gum.

I mean different types of gum take up almost an entire set of shelves near the cashier of any convenience store. With all of those choices how is a person supposed to choose gum that is good for them. And that is not counting all the different flavors, longevity and approvals by dentists.

Why is it that there has no been no official comparison between all the major gum brands and their respective products in the world. By major I mean the bigger companies like Wrigleys and Cadbury Adams. I don't expect to find a comparison between some buffalo wing flavored gum made by some guy in his basement and Juicy Fruit. Like there should be some huge official table, that scientists in a laboratory have prepared after months of intricate testing. I guarantee that it would not be a waste of money, it would be so much more beneficial to the world than cures for diseases. With such a table one could properly way the pros and cons of gum they are interested in buying.

On a side note, I had no idea some many gum brands were owned by two big companies. I mean Wrigley owns: Juicy Fruit, Big Red, Hubba Bubba, Excel, 5,Bubble Tape, Freedent, Extra, Orbit , Altoids(I know it isn't gum, but it still freshens your breath in a candy form) and Big League Chew. While Cadbury Adams owns: Bubblicious, Chiclets, Clorets, Dentyne, Stide, Trident

On a further side note, why does 5 gum need to have "hip" names for all of its gum flavors. It has cool commercials sure, but I mean, Cobalt= Peppermint, Flare=Cinnamon , Elixir=Berry. Why not just keep the same normal names, stop trying to appeal to hipsters. No good hipsters with their slick goatees, oddly shaped/colored sunglasses and strange types of coffee. I don't buy types of gum for the gum's cool name, I buy it for taste and longevity. Which is exactly why we need this comparison.

On an even further side note, why has the concept of gum not moved on to other types of food besides candy. Why is there no widespread roast beef with gravy gum, that you can chew to mimic the taste of a nice dinner. Perhaps, due to some widespread food conspiracy concocted by some insidious group of clocked figures. Some group that may even be controlled by none other than space lizards. Those crafty space lizards.
