Skepchick Quickies 12.30

I couldn’t find anything interesting in history that happened on December 30, so I’m leaving you with one of my favorite limericks instead (by Dixon Lanier Merritt).

His beak can hold more than his belican.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week,
Though I’m damned if I know how the helican!
