Orginally the header for this blog was going to be question marks. I finally decided on ostriches. Yes they are fancy photoshop ostriches, but they are ostriches none the less. I felt I owed them a tribute. The reason for this entire blog came about because of ostriches. I've always heard the phrase "You're like an ostrich with it's head in the sand". I repeated this to someone when I honestly just wasn't paying attention & it slipped out. It's like how you wake up one day & realize that you are your mother.
The Myth: Ostriches bury their heads in the sand. Used to describe someone who refuses to face the facts.
The Problems: When something buries it's head it suffocates.
My Verdict: I guess the ostrich does not in fact put it's head in the sand. I found out that ostriches do eat rocks, & do put their head against the ground. I've heard that this is so they look like a bush to their predators (think of the back of an ostrich). I can't verify this because it's very hard to tell what ostrich predators are thinking. I really hope this isn't true just so I will not wake up one day & be my mother. Who can argue with logic like that?
