Some Thanksgiving Questions...

How come some lame bird like a turkey got picked as the official bird of Thanksgiving and not something more exciting, like an ostrich or a pterodactyl?
Does anyone really believe that the pilgrims peacefully ate a meal with "savages"?
Does anyone else notice how closely cranberry sauce resembles napalm?
Why can't turkeys be stuffed with candy or anything that doesn't taste like soggy croutons?
If you make a wish, and win the better half of the wishbone, and your wish doesn't come true, does that mean that your turkey wasn't potent enough?
Is there some way to secure the waddly thing from the turkey's face and make it into a neat Thanksgiving hat?

  • Why is it that Americans think Thanksgiving was their idea when in fact it is a harvest holiday celebrated in Europe for centuries?

    That America would twist the truth just to promote its own national unity is shocking. Shocking, I say.

  • Jordan, the appropriate question is "Leah, why do you hate America?"

    Steve, answers:
    Ben Franklin thought the turkey to be the most noble bird, and preferred its selection over the bald eagle as our national symbol.
    Yes. When the pilgrims conveniently forgot to clean the dishes, the "savages" became enraged. That was the TRUE start of a 400 year struggle.
    Cranberry sauce mixed with equal parts of gasoline can MAKE napalm!
    Turkeys actually come from the store stuffed with candy. It's in a little plastic bag. YUM!
    If your wish doesn't come true, it's because Jesus hates you.
    The waddly thing is actually in that plastic bag. Check it out this year!
