    At first, I thought someone was throwing porn because I read:

    OMG, duck, porn!

    Ah the miracle that is the glottal stop.

    So there really is a war between the sexes.

    Drakes cry Piece, piece, but there is no piece….

    I was out in Bushy park in London with my seven year old niece a couple of months ago. We had a fantastic time feeding the ducks, swans, squirrels and pidgeons. The park is incredible and my niece loved learning about animal camoflage and behaviour. This is until we came across what I could only describe as an eight on one, water based, royal park violent gangbang.

    It took a lot of tact to explain that to her impressionable ears.

    She’s eight now. Maybe I’ll just send her the link ;)

    I was rather shocked and surprised last spring to witness a duck gang rape. I didn’t know that they did such things! There weren’t any duck police to report the “crime” to.

    And when your drake isn’t satisfied with the number of female ducks available to him, you may notice that in certain seasons, the chickens all have bald spots on the back of their necks…

    Somewhere, some puritanical type must have passed a law against such goings-on, so children won’t embarrass parents with questions. I’m thinking Kansas, maybe.

    msnbc.msn.com — ‘When it comes to sex, some female ducks have taken “no” to a new level. They have evolved vaginas with clockwise spirals that keep out the oppositely spiraled penises of undesirable males, scientists have discovered.’

    True story: when I was a kid we had ducks in our backyard. One night one of the drakes got frightened at an inopportune moment and left a rather large piece of… himself… stuck in the wire fence. He never was the same after that.

    I will never be able to watch the Howard the Duck movie again.

    Not that it’s any loss. It’s a lousy movie.

    #10: Oh, so fuck a duck is a bit more complicated than it a sounds!

    It’s hard to fuck a duck, but it’s even harder to fake a drake.

    Down where I am on the south coast of the UK there is a significant lack of female Mallard ducks. A lot of this is to do with screwing-based drownings.

    Glad I’m not a duck, really.

    Pedantry made me struggle through signing in for the first time. Apparently my name is a string of gibberish. Here we go:

    “At first, I thought someone was throwing porn because I read:

    OMG, duck, porn!

    Ah the miracle that is the glottal stop.”

    That is not a glottal stop. A glottal stop is not simply a pause in speech; it’s the distinctive sound you hear at the beginning of utterances starting with a vowel. It’s a sort of “hard start” (or stop). Saying the same thing starting with an “h” gets rid of the glottal stop.

    One neat thing you can do is record yourself saying “ha”, then playing it in reverse — it will sound the same! But if you reverse the sound “a” (with the “h” removed) it will actually sound like the word “hot”!

    Another example of a glottal stop masquerading as a “t” is the famous Cockney pronunciation of words like “bottle”. Some New Englanders too, apparently.
