At 12:30am this morning, as I lay on the settee watching Walking With Monsters on the UK History channel, there came an almighty series of loud noises from the fireplace. Like most British homes these days, we retain an open chimney, but the fireplace it's connected to is sealed over with a metal…

I can't offer squid, but I can offer a large reptile. Just check out Hank's Travels at this site.
Oh no! A giant hyacinth macaw! You know they can crack Brazil nuts at their normal size (their beaks can exert a force of 2000 psi)....oh now you've done it, PZ! King 'Caw has seen the Capitol, and it looks just like a giant nut!
