An unhatched flightless bird that as an adult has eyes and just about everything else bigger than its brain.

Who needs birds for ranks though? Why are the ranks birds?

Emu Egg, Butterfly, Deinonychus and Velociraptor are not birds though (Emu eggs are eggs) But I see your point, why are we defined by bird names? And why are some birds apparently better then other?

I can understand why Phoenix is the highest rank though.

Wouldn't Roc be higher up? In theory that is. (Roc= Gigant mythelogical bird that can supposedly have an elephant in each tallon and one in its beak during flight)

Never question a man quoting Douglas Adams... he might snap and force you to drink pan galactic garble blasters.

I was wondering why you were saying you posted drivel to get to 1000 posts.
Is there some kind of respect issue that you get by posting more than others?

Not a personal attack btw just not sure why anyone would post for fun just to up the post count

A pan galactic garble blaster is a drink that; "Feels like having your brain smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick." and before you ask, I have no idea why anyone would want that. But that may be because I don't drink.

Chosing your own rank is important for some, or maybe they just don't like being refered to as birds and be put into category with the other "birds" a costom rank = individuality.

Or I may be over-analysing everything as usual.

When I get 1000 posts I'm changing my rank to "common person" or maybe "is hardcore".

Oh, and I became a hummingbird AND tufted titmouse today. This site contains addictive properties.
