"They do not fly so much as... plummet". It'll be quite a while before these guys do the flap-flap-takeoff thing... ducklings leave the nest like hacky-sacks, never to return... watch the Nature special on ducks to get the full story.

Aah lol, yes, he's running away from his brother and the fury of his fans after having cancelled the show in France.

More seriously, there's a lot of hype about using discarded materials to create pratical or decorative objets, the idea is obviously good, I think however that these items should sell for a fair price.
Remember the tinny tin can cars, planes and motos made in Africa? I thought that when these items were in shops the overprice was due because the shops paid the creators a good one, but not. The shops just make enormous profits by taking advantage of press covers and customers who think they do a good action like for fair trading...
