    so if an eagle can do the breast stroke, what bird can do the butterfly stroke?

    The bumblebee’s flight license should be revoked…(at least until they get an delicate corneal inversion procedure… a multi-opti-pupil-optomy like LT Jim “Wash Out” Pfaffenbach didn’t have in “Hot Shots!”)

    Having spent time sitting in our garden watching bumble bees I’m choosing not.

    Regarding the breast-stroking eagle, to better catch fish, no doubt.

    There should be a Romeo Rose too.

    I still remember the last words spoken by a traveling monk in one famous movie four decades ago———-“I never did find out the name of the rose.”

    Well, Shakespeare did say something about a rose by any other name.

    I was around 17 years old when I started doing the breast stroke and it never gets old.

    So bumblebees have been hitting the mead a little too hard?

    Has this site turned into pr0n? What is this about stroking breasts on Ripley’s Believe It Or Not? I protest this blatant breach of ethics and… oh, you meant the swimming technique. Never mind. ~ Emily Litella

    Take care, may bumblebee driver Karen “It’s Their Fault For Putting So Many Telephone Poles And Mail Boxes So Close To The Streets” Ploshord be with you, and gesundheit.

    This is why eagle breast meat is so expensive and you can’t find it at Safeway

    Of course eagles can swim, they have water wings

    I’ve seen bumblebees fly many times and they do NOT bump into something every second on average. Perhaps this ‘statistic’ comes from sampling in an extremely crowded space.

    Is the rosé expensive to buy or to grow? Did he recoup his $5 million?

    That factoid sounds like each and every bumblebee bumps into something every second. But it probably refers to all bumblebees.

    I thought that the butterfly would be more popular among birds as that is how they use their wings in the air.

    Of course it would be the most expensive rose after all that money pumped into it’s development.

    and aphids will chow down on that expensive rose just the same as the ones you get for a discount at the home and garden center…
