Polly, Want A Proper Memorial?
September 11, Still A Day Of Tearful Farewells
We are, as you know, unhealthily obsessed with the New York Times' Most Emailed list. And so today, on the seventh anniversary of September 11th, we were interested to see what wide-ranging coverage it would yield.
With that in mind, we weren't exactly surprised to come upon two emotional tributes (numbers one and five respectively) each commemorating the passing of a loved one.
We were, however, somewhat disconcerted by the fact that they were both about a frickin' parrot. [NYT]

Before you talk crap, know your facts. That was the smartest bird in the world and IDIOT, it was the 6th anniversary. 2001. Must not mean much to you or you would have known. Don't act all offended if you can't even remember when it happened.
