Great minds

The info on Breyer’s page is from July 11. There are two countries listet in opposition. Germany and Poland. I’m not sure if that won’t change for Germany :/

Expect readers of Astérix to flex the proverbs they learned.

I’m offended. Why particularly at me?

The Sandwich part sent me on a little goose chase (pun intended)

There’s also the Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis)

and the nēnē, aka Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis)

And Wikipedia helped with the rest:

The Sandwich Islands is Captain James Cook’s name for the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. He chose the name of his patron, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.

Sometimes humans make me feel really violent.

The intern was supposed to order a box of Uhu (brand that’s synonymously used for glue).

You beat me to it! I also added an explanation in a comment. It’s quite cute :D

What is sitting in the tree and waving (hello/farewell)?

A Huhu

That’s not only a play on words. Uhu is the German word for GHO. By adding the H it turns into an interjection and word that’s used when people call out in greeting/to get another person’s attention. At the same time it’s how Germans imitate a GHO’s hoot - huhu.

That’s one of my favourite ‘flat jokes’ (Flachwitze in German).

Well, hello again. I have herbal tea and delicious voles.

It’s not really about Taylor Swift. It’s what she stands for and the fact that targeting a mostly young and female audience as potential victims will bring the biggest media attention world wide. Terrorists in general want to spread fear to at least disrupt societies that don’t fulfill their ideas of whatever believe system they follow.

It’s been the same with the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in 2017.

It’s so great how even a light-hearted comment can trigger your scientific curiosity and puts you into teacher mode! 🍎

Little fella makes me yawn in sympathy. Is it contagious?

The vibe is the same as you get from a lot of daytime pictures from Podargus strigoides - which are often mistaken for owls. I hold a lot of sympathy for them.
