Default Monty Python parrot dead as a doornail:OFFICIAL

Quote:
A fossil expert has established for the first time that parrots lived in Scandinavia about 55 million years ago when the area was covered in tropical forest.
Dr David Waterhouse of Norwich, Norfolk, found that a fossilised wing recovered from a mine in Denmark came from a bird which belonged to the parrot family

Quoting Monty Python on a geek forum should be outlawed.
It's too easy, really. Like shooting fish in a barrel (as the Mythbusters proved...)



PS: Yeah, and you can shoot me, because I already did it today.

Scandinavian parrots aren't extinct... they're resting, yeah that's it, tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

Hee, the information in the OP has already been added to the wiki article. Eat your heart out, Encyclopedia Britannica.

Pining for the fjords?

This parrot wouldn't move if you put 20,000 vlts through it.
It would've fallen straight off the perch if you you hadn't naled its feet to it.
It is bereft of of life.
It has drawn the curtain and joined the Choir Inivisible.
It has given up the ghost.
It is...an EX-PARROT!
