"The American woodcock (Scolopax minor) and the Eurasian woodcock (S. Rusticola) have both been timed lying at 5 mph with out stalling during courtship displays."

I had to laugh at this whilst doing my research:

Smelliest Bird:
The south American hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) has an odor similar to cow manure. Colombians call it pava hedionda ("stinking pheasant"). The cause of the smell is believed to be a combination of its diet of green leaves and its specialized digestive system, which involves a kind of foregut fermentation.

Yayhay! They're not the most aerodynamic thing I've ever seen!

You have a crack now Swanny.

Hmmm, ok then,

What herb, usually eaten as a sweet, can cause your potassium to drop to a dangerously low level?

Oh phhok. Ok. Had to be a Godfather one... no? But which one? I or II? And II was better imo.

Kenny, ya bollix, you do this on purpose.

OK. Its Godfather I. Brilliant cinematography, actooors, Italian sex and killing.

Dont even look at Godfather III. Its a SIN.

Not any of the Godfather films mate , but it is one of the best films ever made in my opinion

Taxi Driver was around then too. So many of the best movies in the last 50 years were in the 70's.

Most of the shoyte you see now are bad copies of its genre. But de plebs love it.

Not the Sears tower, but that is th tallest in the US...

You are 22. Just out of nappies and Poopie yella.

Unless you are a serious movie-buff, from a movie-buff family... then I would ajolopise profusely.

But, because there is GOOGLE.. we will never know.

Anyway...
GOOGLE tells me its the Wills Tower.

I would have said the Trump Tower in Chicago

I can understand suspicion, anyone could be cheating, you'd never know. But I swear I didn't, I thought of Oscar winners from the seventies, and of Nicholson films...hence me also saying the shining.

It isn't the Willis tower (formerly sears tower)

Sears was my only answer , nothing else comes to mind
