Swan Nest

A cursory bit of Googling will get you the bare facts:

Female swans will aggressively defend their nests from any threat. Swan wings have a very hard front edge that can be used to hit predators. If the predator is killed, the swan will not eat it.

Information that may be of interest to the person who keeps popping up on Yahoo Messenger on the home computer everytime I sit down to do my school work. That sappy "Hello, Sir," greeting is going to get the predatory, wannabe submissive person "not eaten."

I understand that it isn't "my" computer. I know that I don't OWN anything including the Sir to whom the greeting is ostensibly being directed. I'm perfectly clear about my place and my status, but that does not change the simple fact that there is the simple matter of courtesy involved here. If this BIMBO doesn't have the common good sense and pure decency to ascertain who might be sitting in front of the computer she's sending her fishing messages to, then she deserves whatever might happen to her.

Walking blindly into a swan's nest is just plain stupid. This one qualifies. Grrrrrrrrr.
