lordshipmayhemThe story I'm watching is about the replacement of bald eagle Beauty's beak with a prosthetic. She won't be able to live in the wild, but she won't need to be hand fed and watered any more.
The line that the newsreader comes up with is classic English cock-up: "Beauty will be able to drink and preen her feathers by herself."
Drink AND preen her feathers? Since when do eagles drink their feathers? Do the girls of the Haibane Renmei drink their feathers? I think not!!
(Yes, I get silly when I'm tired. Yes, I'm tired. Yes, I'm heading for bed. Oyasumi nasai.)
