The strangeness continues...
Apr. 29th, 2004 03:11 pmToday on my way to the Kalevala lecture, I heard birds chirping in a tree near the university. Not so unusual, it's spring after all. Only they sounded more like parrots than anything.
So I stopped walking and watched the tree-top, and lo! it were parrots indeed, big green-orange ones. Now what do parrots do in a linden tree in the middle of Cologne? If it had been one, I'd have suspected that it had escaped from some cage. But it wasn't one. I could see four from where I stood, and I think there were even more hidden by the racket they made.
Now what is it about this city?!
[My brother says it's a glitch in the Matrix.]
