More trivia,
Totally out of the blue I get a call from my old boss this a.m. and somehow, Lightfoot unrelated, the topic got around to Canadian Geese. She is full of obscure trivia as geese are full of,well,"goose juice" and informs me that Canada geese on average produce 1.1 kilograms of feces a day.
To those you metrically challenged 1.1 kilograms is equivalent to 2.425084884 pounds (give or take a bit).
No need to thank us!
(when driving to Massey in Metric Canada, just think of of the Km on speed signs as "Kanadian miles" (per hour) - our constables will thank you profusely while writing out your ticket)
Also, a few years ago there was a plan to cul the geese and use them to feed the homeless. That idea turned out to be a real "turkey" (no pun intended).
Perhaps it is not so unusual that in this day and age there was more concern over dead geese than the dying homeless. Go figure??...
