In flightless bird news: this item, sent to me from a colleague and loyal EMUTalk.org reader, and from something called The Awl: “Emu Dies in Suspicious Circumstances.” Allow me to quote the brief piece in its entirety:
A “mad emu” was on the loose in El Paso yesterday, “snarling rush-hour traffic near Interstate 10 and attacking deputies trying to restrain it.” The emu was eventually restrained, but died en route to an animal shelter. Authorities say that the bird’s cause of death is unknown, but I think we all pretty much understand what happens when you’re taken in custody after you’ve assaulted a cop. I’m sure the bird just “tripped” or something.
