You know, I had no idea that dodo's became extinct quite so recently...I thought they had died out thousands of years ago...not a mere few hundred.....I know quite a few Mauritian men....could explain the death of the dodo...maybe they died from boredom or committed suicide because they couldn't face living with Mauritian men any longer........lol I know it's not good to generalise but having lived with several of them during my student nurse days I can honestly say 'they are all the same' lol!!

I hope we make it down to Drumheller next week to see the dinosaur stuff there. I wonder if we could get tickets to the Passion play down that way too......
