Some Notes on Our Fine Feathered Friend the Duck

| Sometimes, I take pictures of Ducks |
I have a lot of appreciation for ducks. Like, they're my favorite aquatic bird (a lot of people like swans, but I think they're pretentious). Like, when you see a duck in a body of water, you're immediately like "that's a legitimate body of water because it has ducks". Ducks confer legitimacy because you can't fool ducks. Ducks fool you; they have three eyelids. You might think that a duck's eyes are closed, but they're actually open because ducks are mystical creatures with multiple eyelids so their eyes can be both open and closed. Like what? I can't even explain to you how cool that is.
That's why ducks have so much swagger. Have you seen the way ducks waddle? That is the waddle of "I have three eyelids and I know it". I mean, there's a reason that I have a whole album on my Facebook labelled 'Ducks'.
And, naturally, the Penn State ducks are the best ducks. Like, sometimes, you see them chilling by Sackett Building and, if you get too close, they'll honk at you like "what up?". That's how ducks greet each other, apparently. And, in the spring, you can see them wandering around Old Main Lawn with their baby ducks. And they all walk in a little, neat line and honk at everyone. You see! Ducks have family values. I feel like all politicians should get the endorsement of the ducks before they run for office because ducks have good morals, they always say hello and they care for their children.
Also, they have webbed toes. I don't know why that's important, but, for some reason it is. Maybe, it's because, as I recently learned, ducks have no nerves in their feet, so they don't feel cold when they're swimming.
It's sad how useful that is in State College because our weather is ridiculous. We have good duck weather. Enough said.
Just sayin'
