Whenever I see that thing or a variant of it this pops up in my head:
Du häßlicher Vogel, wirst du einst
Mir in die Hände fallen;
So rupfe ich dir die Federn aus
Und hacke dir ab die Krallen.


Me too!
I wonder what it means.


A quick & ugly translation would be "You ugly bird, if I ever get my hands on you I'll pull out your feathers and cut off your claws". It's from this, and the reference is to the same bird.

Are you sure that you are quoting me? Which post was it?  ???
What have you both smoked lately?   :P

South, north. Goes to show how earthbound we are. You don't have to get very far from home to recognize that such directions mean nothing.

There also used to be maps with south and east up, although I don't think I ever saw one with west on top.

Something went haywire with the quoting mechanism.
Don't blame us.
