Painful, but wonderful. I have always had a soft spot for the dodo. Thanks.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557702Thu, 18 Jan 2007 00:08:07 -0800thethirdmanBy: Steven C. Den Beste

Dodos were amazingly silly looking birds, but I bet they tasted good.
Flightless birds who evolve on islands have always taken it in the teeth (or in the beak) when humans showed up. For instance, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moa">10 species of flightless birds</a> in New Zealand were exterminated by the Maori about 500 years ago.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557721Thu, 18 Jan 2007 01:12:07 -0800Steven C.

Steve,
I bought some chicken at Safeway, pretended it was Dodo, cooked it, ate it, and it was good. It tasted like chicken.
Who has the time for this? I want his life.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557730Thu, 18 Jan 2007 01:34:06 -0800jimmythefishBy: erskelyne

No mention of the Dodo would be complete without a look at <a href="http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/classics/classics_archive/waldrop/waldrop1.html"> Howard Waldrop's short story "The Ugly Chickens."</a> It is a damn tasy read; y'all should take a minute or two to digest it.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557736Thu, 18 Jan 2007 01:47:14 -0800erskelyneBy: erskelyne

<i> I bet they tasted good</i>
Ian Parker's article in the 1/22/07 (offline) issue of the New Yorker says " The sailors refered to it as <i>walghvoghel</i>, which translates as "repulsive bird" and is thought to refer to the bird's taste when cooked...." ( though some thought that it refered instead to the bird's habits) ... "its flesh was tough and oily."comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557778Thu, 18 Jan 2007 04:23:36 -0800R.

To accompany a story about Mauritius & its modern-day dodo fetish in this week's issue, the New Yorker's website posts a gallery called <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/content/articles/070122on_onlineonly01">Photos of Dodos</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557850Thu, 18 Jan 2007 07:20:28 -0800squalorBy: trinarian

I'm almost certain this is a double, or double-ish. I've seen this before and don't know of any other site I visit that would have put this up. If it is, it's easily forgiven because it isn't tagged well and isn't pulling up easily in searches. Or I'm wrong.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1557932Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:18:05 -0800trinarianBy: cenoxo

Wow, thanks for this post. These photos have a real resonance with me, though I'm not sure why. It almost makes me want to cry.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.57854-1558173Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:15:59 -0800dead_
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
