Obama.

There, I did it. FOR THE SHEER GLORY.

No, but seriously, emus are actually very interesting birds. Isn't it strange how the Ostrich, Rhea, and Emu are all on different continents? And the turkey as well?

I don't understand how this relates to Obama.
Please explain.

Is this some kind of racial comment?

Isn't the bet just about mentioning Obama?

If not, we just ruined the bet completely.

I wouldn't say its strange, I'd say it shows evidence that nature had them pretty well just right when the supercontinent/s split up.

Edit: This is not to be taken to mean that he is just right too.... or any other such inferences.

Edit 2: DT, isn't just mentioning that there is no mention of him, making mention of him? in which case, Enigma was right, and it was turned to him in less than 4 posts?

That Emu cannot produce a valid birth certificate so it should be ineligble because it doesn't look like a citizen . Plus while it is giving the dance of hope you know it is really only out to screw others . Also just look at the third word in the first post , that apostrohe hides something the chosen bird doesn't want you to know , "m's" is socialist doublespeak for muslim just like Obama is really Osama bin Saddam .
I would suggest that we call on you betcha Palin to shoot that bird down to save us all from communist atheist muslim abortionists who want to convert us to scientology and tax the air we breath ......but apparently the shotgun wedding didn't go as planned and she is left holding the baby while Bristol finds a new redneck to have abstinance sex with in the name of good ol' folksy family values .

Emu is code speak for a governmental program under Obama. E.M.U. "Entitlement of the Minority and Underprivileged. " Under this new EMU program those who have nothing will have something and those that have something will have nothing. then the roles will switch and the process will begin again in the next quarter after spending billions of millions on the forms necessary to complete this white house bureaucratic socialist gift to the masses. "If you drive a Mercedes and live in a nice house than you will now be driving a shopping cart and living in a cardboard box. But look at the bright side, If you drive a shopping cart and live in a cardboard box then you are going to get a Mercedes and a brand new house!" said Mr's Obama in a white house meeting. :rotfl:

Just to Hijack the thread;
Flightless birds happen because of,"regression towards the mean", the use it or lose it of natural selection. It would be odd if it didn't happen.

On Topic: I sympathise with the emu friday night sees some of my sexiest dancing, but no interest from the opposit sex

You shouldn't think of flightlessness as a regression. It is an
improvement/adaptation to save energy and allow larger body
mass etc., not a regression from under use.
