I thought the bird was the word?

That bird became Twitter.

In short Polly the Norwegian Blue died and was resurrected as an internet platform named after Tweety's taunts. The Angry birds already existed and established a colony. Therefore zombie Polly became Twitter, hence the blue bird.

So uh, where is this shoutbox?

I can't find it either. Maybe it's invisible to newbies.

Do we now have a "pyrate dog?" I thought the ship was more cat oriented.

Some people are more into rabbits or like cows to get the best beef.

*cough*

Bless you Takato, get well soon.
