News of this Bolg!

Dear followers of this blog,

if any, ha, ‘cos I’ve seen some visitors from the map.

For some problems of the email account, I’m going to delete this blog soon. At the same time I’ve set up a new one, which is also named Ewigkeit and can be linked at http://echovan22.blogspot.com.

Soon or later I’ll repost articles from my old blogs to the new one. And also, I will try to keep updating the new one more often for long, or say, forever.

Anyway, thank you for following this one again, especially when I’m too lazy to write new articles. If you’re following the new one, it would be even better if we can interact with each other.

Sincerely,
Echo

An occupational disease

On dinner, I told my colleague, SF, that once my friend and I did a naughty thing.
We asked a fortuneteller to divine my future by a bird,
and tried to figure out how the fortuneteller extrapolated things.

"Which species did the fortuneteller use?" asked SF.

I replied, "Java sparrow."

"That's boring. He should use Chinese bulbuls (a common species in Taiwan)"

"Aren't they too common to trigger mystique?"

"Yean, faintly in the big city."

"As to mimicry, I guess HELICONIUS would perform better."

".............................."

This is kind of occupational disease to young ecologists… I GUESS!
