ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — Albany police say that on the day of the Civil War football game this week, a duck was found spray-pointed orange, the color of the Oregon State Beavers. Its legs were bound with duct-tape.
The Oregon Ducks won the game Thursday, and the male mallard has survived.
But the Albany Democrat-Herald reports the duck will spend the winter at a wildlife rehabilitation center near Corvallis, home of the Beavers.
Jeff Picton of the Chintimini Wildlife Center says the duck can't be set free because the paint destroyed the water-repellent qualities of its feathers. It couldn't swim.
And, Picton says, removing the paint would do more damage than leaving it on. So, the center will wait until the duck molts and grows new feathers.

Now, I love Morrissey (I'm sure this comes as no surprise to many of you, who've been subjected to my obsessive posting of YouTube videos the past couple months). And I love the Smiths. I love animals, and I try to buy cruelty free whenever I can. And this song is powerful enough that it makes even me consider giving up steaks and burgers.
But really? Who on earth wants "Meat is Murder" as a ringtone?
I mean, and what part? Is it the part where Morrissey is accusing me of murder, is that what the ringtone will be? Or maybe the part with the mooing and the sad guitar background? Or maybe it's the line that chokes me up every time, about how "this beautiful creature must die, it's death for no reason and death for no reason is murder..."
Anyways. Some songs shouldn't be ringtones. And with that, I'm going to bed!
Trainee: This customer is mad because we won't cover an accident that happened before he was insured with us. He won't stop yelling!
Trainer: Ha! He's gonna have to suck eggs on that one! Sucks for him. But seriously, go through the facts and dates with him and explain why we won't cover it. Stay calm and apologize. You can do this!
Trainee, to customer: Thank you for holding. This... uh... Okay. My manager says you have to suck eggs, I'm sorry.

So kinda like old, cobweb-wrapped monkey bread. But in a yummy way.
Well, uh, Jane D. [wink wink], thanks for putting a new spin on these things.

This cute little guy died of natural causes. I'd wager this macabre bird head pendant necklace would make it appear as though a sweet bird is growing from the wearer's chest. $350 on Etsy. [Thanks, Moxie!]

Just one look at this countdown traffic light and you know it's a great idea. A progress bar on a stop light? We're on board with that. Besides alleviating frustration, designer Damjan Stanković sees his idea saving energy — when motorists know there's plenty of time until the light turns green, they'll shut their engines off to conserve fuel.
This design concept should be immediately implemented on every traffic signal in the world. Maybe the countdown feature could be used on the yellow and green lights, too. This can't be difficult to make, either, since many traffic lights are already using LEDs that could be easily rearranged.
