    When I clicked on that Monty Python Sings thumbnail before seeing the title, I was expecting the Medical Lovesong :D

    He said it was going to be a video on NZ culture. I was waiting for the funny part to begin and it never did.

    What is the connection between Chlidonias and the Medical Love song?

    As in, I thought you were going say that that's the reason that "sometimes it's just as well".

    This is probably the greatest music video ever; Muse are my favourite band ever, Terry Crews is awesome, the song is fantastic, and the video is pretty damn funny to boot!

    Here's something cool that I saw on the internet recently:

    They're all European birds. It looks stupid at first, but the birds are clearly identifiable. I'm not quite sure on 4B or 3D (mallard?) though.

    I'm pretty sure 5D is a mallard, it was the first one to catch my eye, followed by the kingfisher (3E).

    Oh yes, of course. I can't work out 3D though.

    The first to catch my eye was the bee-eater. I'm pretty sure I know all of them apart from 3D and 4B.

    No, no one wagtail species quite matches. It's got to have a black head, white chin/upper breast, yellow most of body/breast with maybe some greyish on the back and white towards the back portion of the bird.

    Given how obvious the other ones are and how distinctive that colour patterns seems, I'd have though it should be reasonably obvious... I can't quite get it.

    House sparrow and (I'm guessing) great tit.

    House sparrow looks right actually. I don't see Great Tit though.

    That's neat. They're not all clearly identifiable to me of course (not being English), but I can immediately pick out the ones like goldfinch, kingfisher, magpie, green woodpecker, etc (basically, nine out of 25 are obvious to me). I could probably get more if I put some effort into it.
