here's an amusing story from monterey. we're all outside in the back of the aquarium overlooking the bay and this seagull lands on the railing. it appears really calm we i try to step closer to it. i think a camera was involved.. so i step closer and stare at it and it kind of stares back.. it's butt is facing me so it's head was turned towards me... and when my face gets a foot away.. PLOP! it goes poo. it was kind of funny because it didn't move or anything. maybe it couldn't move because it was so lethargic and concentrating to get the poo out. or maybe it was so scared of my menacing presence that it had to go poo.. like mice do when they're scared. yup.
