      Apparently the dimensions of a parcel can change during transit. I’m currently tracking a Very Important Parcel (most of you can guess what it is) and it went from 60x60x120cm to a more plausible 38x27x21cm somewhere between Bodø and Fauske.

          Learned this month or 2 back but didn’t know about this thread. But Reno Nevada is technically more west coast(further west) than Los Angeles on a map. Ive lived in California for 18yrs, been to LA a lot and Reno few times that blew my mind.

            I had no idea what birds get up to when they’re not flying around or decorating cars, or that this was the subject of academic research. I promise I didn’t go looking for this - it was being plugged on LinkedIn by an institution I attended!

              Today I learned it is not tomorrow, which i thought it was when i woke up today thanks to my schedule this week. Don't you hate when you think tomorrow's friday, but it's not yet thursday? devastating.

                    In all fairness, in one of my Ecology classes, the professor’s area of expertise was the reproductive habits of tidal zone aquatic life.

                      @goosehd a work colleague of mine has a list of academic qualifications a mile long but his doctoral thesis was on Gait Analysis of Chickens.
                      lifelong dedication to the subject ever since lol.

                        @Stringthing75 I’m just imagining the conversation if your guy and one of the authors of the paper met at a party:

                        A: So, what do you do for a living?
                        B: I watch birds walk. And you?
                        A: Pretty much the same - just change one letter …
