Super Birthday Snake
You know how in cartoons, when one animal/character eats some large and/or oddly shaped animal/character/thing, the thing retains its shape which you can see through the stretched throat/stomach of the thing that ate it? Well, we always thought that was for comedic or hyperbolic value, but discovered today that it is an actual phenomenon of the oddly-shaped-food-consuming animal kingdom, or at least of starfish-consuming seagulls in Rhode Island.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Wow! Yucky! But a fairly amusing mental image.

i thought starfish were kind of squishy and pliable. no?
but i am enjoying the imagery of one lodged in the throat of the bird--momentarily of course.

See? THIS is why seagulls need teeth.

I missed the hyphen the first time through, and read it as "starfish (who are) consuming seagulls," which was even more impressive.

See? THIS is why Jeff needs a redundancy fail-safe option.
