did you know that every year, the President of the United States pardons a turkey? apparently, ever since some dude started doing this years ago, its a traditional way to kick off thanksgiving. they pick out two fat turkeys to be the lucky birds to be pardoned and spared the oven, and then have a little pardoning ceremony. this year's lucky bird is named Liberty, his vice is named Freedom. and then they get petted by kids, and then they get sent to a farm to live out the rest of their numbered days...i say numbered, because they are so fat that apparently they usually die before the next thanksgiving. and all that turkey goes to waste....

we it really doesn't go to waste. Come on Jessie you should know that you are a part biology, part physics something major. Those two turkeys feed all those scavengers and bacterias. So it makes for a Happy Thanksgiving for all those other things. Shesh and I am only a geology major.
