Flamingos are not famed for their cunning intelligence, now for their problem solving abilities: donfronted with a twist of wire and a bottle with something edible in it, a crow might try to make a tool out of the wire in order to get at the contents of the bottle. A flamingo, on the other hand, will try and eat the wire, if it looks like a shrimp, or possibly even if it doesn't, just in case it was a new kind of shrimp. So if there was something slightly smoky and insubstantial about the man who stood on the window ledge insulting them, the flamingos failed to perceive it. They glared at him with the crazed ruby eyes of killer rabbits, and they rushed towards him.

-Ananzi Boys.

Also, I wanna use the phrase "Cocked" more often (As in "I cocked this all up.")
