It started as a National Geographic type short in which this odd bird was pecking fallen logs for bugs. The bird was like the Heron (far left), but his hair was like the koosh ball (2nd left). He would walk around pecking fallen logs, looking for bugs, but then started attacking other animals - like anteaters, that were also looking for bugs. Then it got enraged and started pecking larger animals - like cows and horses. People screamed and fled the koosh-headed heron.

Cut to the cute Blue-footed Boobies (middle picture), which grew to heights up to 4 and 5 feet tall somehow. In the middle of their Blue-footed Booby dance, a platypus type animal jumped up and tried to swallow their head. So the dance continued with this little platypus on top instead of their heads.

Nature Untamed... Visit the Isle of Jurba
.I woke up and thought, that is freakin' weird. I have never even heard of Jurba (which I pronounced Yerba - assuming it was in Latin America somewhere). But it turns out I wasn't really awake. Because the next thing I did was tell all of my friends.

And no one cared, most people followed Ed's lead and zoned out in the conversation / explanation. Except for Diane. Who listened sweetly and then asked what a Blue-Footed Booby was.

Thank you Diane (picture with me in Mostar - far right).

ps - there is no Island of Jurba that I can find - although there is a city of Jurba in Yemen.
