No wonder ducks have the reputation they do. Here’s that article:

Sorry, you’ll have to ‘cut and paste’.
That’s the bunny. The link I had went straight to the scientific paper, though, and showed the hot necrophiliac duck action. (that’s a big LOL there, btw, for those of you who haven’t seen birds mate) The living partner had chased the dead one into the side of a building (which is why he was dead) before assaulting it.
/random unrelated thought, didn’t Zeus seduce one of his many girlfriends while in the form of a swan? There’s your mythological precedent for this kind of ‘romance’ right there!
Ok, I have to admit my gullibility. Of course, I skipped to the JR Ward review and thought, “Hmmm…maybe she saw the light and realized 2 men with that much sexual tension MUST have sex!” When I read about the were-duck, I knew something was fishy. But it wasn’t until I started reading the comments that I remembered it was April Fools.
I went to the past April Fools pages and this year’s is by far the best! The mantitty scared me, the bunnies scared me more, and the Chink-n-Jew page just seemed odd (though still funny-I like people who can laugh and joke about their own culture/ethnicity).
Silver James – I think the typos just make it worse, really. Would it be so hard to run the text through a spell-checker?
Also, I am glad someone else linked the necrophiliac ducks. *g*
Platedlizard, I believe swans, like ducks, are some of the few birds that have penises. Hmmm.
(Of course, Zeus once appeared as a shower of coins, which – I really can’t see how that’s supposed to work.)
…look, there’s only a few times that you can share an article about the evolution of birds’ penises, so I’m going to go ahead and link it. (Probably work-safe; all the pictures are work-safe and there are scholarly footnotes and everything. On the other hand, it is about the evolution of birds’ penises, so.)
“Lover Saved by J.R. Ward”
LOL! vampire elephants – most excellent. 🙂
Emerging from RL to mention Enslaved By Ducks, by Bob Tarte. Not a romance, except in the sense that avian love waddles down many a rocky road on the way HEA, and in the sense that it’s a heartwarming book.
