Only a few years ago that I found out that the ...too-wit too-woo... Tawny Owl call is not one bird, but rather a call and response from a female and a male.

Birds are sex fiends. Most of the chirping you hear in a morning is them looking for an early shag.
A neighbour of mine asked me why the Magpies are looking so haggard and are acting rather bold at the moment. I explained that this would be the females who have spent summer shagging and are now looking for food to feed their young. Their feathers are ****ed after all the nest making.
Aren't there a few animals that don't generally sound how we think they do. The calls native to hollywood and the surrounding area were used in films regardless of what species of the animal it was or where in the world the scene was set (I think this is at least for frogs).

Thanks, that's also something I'm just learning then. I did wonder why a lot of magpies are looking really scruffy around the neck and head region at the mo. Thought it was a sickly bird or something as normally they have stunning plummage.
It also took me while to realise a magpie with very short stumpy tail feathers hadn't had an accident but is in fact a fledgling
Gives a whole new meaning to 'the early bird gets the worm'.

If, when playing Space Invaders, you hit the first spaceship on the 23rd shot it will be the max 300 points...
Then the next ones on the 15th shot and so on to bag the 300 points...
The next wave start again on 23...
Thus you will look cool in the local chippy or seafront arcade

The arrow to the side of the petrol pump symbol on your fuel gauge denotes what side your filler cap is on. Only found this out after driving for about 25 years..
So you're telling me rabbits don't actually sound like Thumper!?
Er... yeah they do. They're the exception.
I passed my test in 1986. Never knew this till tonight.

Let me **** you up with- Fork candles-Fork handles.....
But can't homophonic words be spelt differently. ? Two/too
I thought homophonic words were different words spelt differently with the same pronunciation ?
e.g. one / won.
Aren't those heteronyms ?
