Ah, your repressed childhood memories are fighting their way to the surface even as you read this. Duck Duck Goose is a kid's game where the young'uns sit in a circle while the person who is "it" walks around the outside. The "it" gal/guy taps the other kids on the head saying "duck" for each kid: duck, duck, duck, duck, duck ... and so forth.

With a microscope you can see tiny barbs on the smallest fibers of duck down, but not on goose down. These barbs make duck down cling together. From this you might conclude that duck down is superior, and in fact the most prized down in the world, Eider down, clings together as if it were one piece. In the commercial world, however, duck are almost never mature by the time their down is collected. Most comes from restaurant ducklings that never are over six weeks old.

No...Unlike frog legs, rattlesnake, alligator and all the other animals that "taste" like chicken, Duck tastes like, well... Besides tasting like duck, some food editors have claimed it tastes to them like filet mignon. We like to say it has the nutrition of poultry and the quality of steak.

For most breeds of ducks the eggs are incubated for 25 days at a dry bulb temperature of 37.5 C (99.5 F) and a wet bulb temperature of 29.4 - 30.0 C (85 to 86 F) then transferred to the incubator hatcher where the temperature is held at a dry bulb temperature of 36.9 C (98.5 F) and a wet bulb temperature of 34.4 C (94 F) till they hatch on day 28. During incubation the eggs should be turned at least three times daily. Muscovy ducks take 35 to 37 days to hatch.

Since the ice is probably not safe for people to walk on, the best thing to do is to let nature take its course. <return to top of page> These creatures are looking for a warm, safe place to take up residency for the winter.

The Guest Assistance Card is for people who require medical accommodations of some sort while in the Disney parks. In the case of kids with type 1 diabetes, hot temperatures can make insulin (particularly in pump cartridges and tubing) less effective or ineffective, plus the heat can cause highs and lows for kids individually. So, it is important to minimize the time standing in long, hot lines. The Guest Assistance Card is not a carte blanche to the front of the line or the disability entrance.

A master piercer is someone who has mastered the field and the art of body piercing. This term is not given from some big organization as there is none in the piercing industry. This title is earned through hard work and dedication and is given to a piercer by his/her peers, no person can just call themselves a master piercer. This has become a problem, over the past few years as many people have claimed to be a master piercer and then it turned out that they only began piercing a year ago.

That's an essay in itself. "Rueda" means wheel or circle. Rueda de Casino is a style of dancing salsa in co-ordinated groups that supposedly originated in the Casino ballroom in Cuba. A "caller" shouts out a move or sequence of moves which dancers, arranged in a circle, execute. Occasionally dancers change their partners all at the same time. It's a bit like a cross between salsa and ceilidh. The style is loosely called "Rueda", "Casino-style salsa" or "Rueda de Casino".

"You're right," said his wife, "we wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day.
