very clever…

Who would have thought a modern rendition of American Pie would have such a significant impact on how we have shifted away from traditional media and networking to a social media explosion that has global ramifications. The time is now. Get on the train or watch it pass you by. If we cannot laugh at what our culture has become then buckle up. It is going to be a wild ride.

Lost parrot gives vet his name and address

Lost parrot gives vet his name and address

TOKYO, Japan (AP) —
When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught —
recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help.

Lost in Tokyo, Yosuke the parrot was able to give his name and address
to get taken home.

Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago
from a neighbor’s roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo.

After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital
while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.
He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet.

“I’m Mr. Yosuke Nakamura,” the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura.
The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number,
and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs.

“We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there.
So we told them we’ve found Yosuke,” Uemura said.
The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address
for about two years.
But Yosuke apparently wasn’t keen on opening up to police officials.

“I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me,” Uemura said.
