Turkeygiving

SORRY I FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH...

To make up for it I will do a THEMED post, stellar!

In honor of Turkey Day here are some of the results/things I learned when I googled "weird turkey."

Some weird turkey facts from a children's website Kidz World:
-"Turkeys have heart attacks. When the Air Force was conducting test runs and breaking the sound barrier, fields of turkeys would drop dead"
(Obviously starting off with something super uplifting..)
-"Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining"
(Keeping the positive thoughts going...)

Apparently Thanksgiving brings out the geeks and pie...here are my two favorites from Popular Mechanic's article about The Top 17 Wild, Fun Thanksgiving DIY Projects:
-Because making a pie in a 3-D cosehedron shape is completely normal.  And is anyone else wondering how it doesn't fall out?...
 
-It is very important to realize that when making a large pie...there is never enough crust...so in order to solve this problem geeky math was used to create a fractal shape that allows for much more crust:


Don't worry the jocks also make an appearance for Thanksgiving with strange sports as described by Yahoo's Sports page:
-Frozen Turkey Bowling!  For when simply eating turkey is not good enough:

-Also in Indianapolis people like to workout using frozen turkeys.  It may be for charity but it is still totally weird.


And finally for the jewelry lovers, especially fans of Juicy Couture...you can get your Thanksgiving charms at Amazon:
-The turkey dinner charm for the Thanksgiving obsessed and also a pumpkin pie charm for dessert:
