Humans (and Crows) can eat Pizza every day and be healthy

Dan Janssen has eaten pizza for almost every meal for a quarter of a century.

"Nothing to me tastes as good as pizza" he said. "Why should I eat a carrot when I can eat pizza?"

Janssen [...] said he usually eats two 14-inch pizzas a day. In college, he worked at Domino's to ensure a steady supply.

We have transformed North America into an Eden for Crows

Wow! This front page article at the Merc has everything. It has Larry Ellison (who is admired by all crows). The online version of the article has great pictures. And it has great quotes:

The intelligent, opportunistic birds are in the midst of a decades-long population surge and territorial expansion.

People who are bothered by crows may need to look in the mirror, for it is human behavior -- wastefulness, in particular -- that enables them to thrive

Researchers say crows use their beaks to gesture and communicate

Researchers say crows (OK ravens but we all know they are practically the same thing) use their beaks to gesture and communicate. Well doh!

Previously, so-called deictic gestures – such as pointing to signify "look" and holding something out to someone to signify "take" – were considered solely the province of human beings and our nearest relatives, the great apes.

Apparently the researchers looked at thirty-eight social interactions between seven ravens. Wow, what a pathetically sized data set! If there was a bird like me there then that would certainly skew the data.
