Shakespeare's Sonnet #29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

That's funny, Lod. Thanks.
I can't decide if I like animal vids, or epic fail human vids better.
They're both good. Here is a little video I really like a lot, a little bare-eyed cockatoo "fighting the devil."
Great, and the one following re: cockie vs. huge dobie was wonderful also. Thanks.

You're very welcome.
That cockatoo had already showed that dog who the boss was. A friend of mine had a bird sanctuary and also had two (iirc) huge mastiffs. The cockatoos could put the dogs in the corner and make them lay there as long as they wanted. I can tell you that one bite from an umbrella cockatoo is enough to make a believer out of man or beast. I had one at the sanctuary just about take a finger off for me one time. They have incredible bite pressure. Depending on the circumstances there are a couple of ways to make them turn loose without hurting them. One way is to put your thumb and forefinger of your free hand into the place where the mandible meets (the upper and lower beak) and squeeze. The other way is to push back on them and make them know that if they don't let go they are going to fall.
