Default Eureka!

[nutter's thoughts]

NAH's new avatar has had me scratching my head since it changed...then, today at work, in the middle of a silent office i said, "AHA. IT'S A DUCK AND A LITTLE DUCK!"

I got some strange looks... :wink:

I thought it was a dinosaur! Don't ask :mrgreen:

LOL I'm SO glad that someone else didn't know what it was! the little duck is in front of the big duck, they are swimming towards the top left of the pic.

What did you think it was? :lol:

At first I thought it was a butterfly of some sort, but on closer inspection I decided that it was just a Random Out-Of-Focus Blob.

Duck? 'Tis no duck woman! 'Tis the fearsome bestie known as the Loch Ness Monster!

No, I don't know what prompted that either.

My good friend was showing me pictures she took while she was visiting Loch Ness... the tour boats there have little black blobs stuck on the windows so you can simulate the wee beastie when you take photos of the lake from inside the boat. :lol:

Given that I actually took the picture in question myself, that wouldn't be a bad guess


For whatever reason, my usual butterfly avatar got de-linked in the move, I'd been meaning to change avs again just for kicks just before the move, and this one was already uploaded to the web, so...

Oh, yeah; when they're little, they're just the cutest little balls of fluff.

:roll: LOL, Horray! I was right! :mrgreen:

Did we mention what a good pic it was? :wink: Yes, the wikkle duck is cute. Not nearly as cute as a wikkle lamb though

I agree with Nitses, it looks more like a crocodile than a pair of ducks

I wouldn't know, I haven't really eaten little ducks before. And mostly I go only for the breast meat anyway.

I prefer chicken.

PJH you meanie! I have never eaten duck and never will. My reason? They are cute Lambs...well, i'm afraid its too late. They are really stupid to taste THAT good. I wouldn't eat them for their cuteness, but, alas, they taste baaaaary good *dodges rotten fruit*
