minus-squareLeadersAtWork@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up24·2 years agoThere are lots of great answers here so I want to post something entirely silly and much much more recent: About 8-9 years ago someone on Reddit transcribed and revised the entirety of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven to instead be about an Emu. For the life of me I have never been able to find it again.

And later on, they started censoring their mention online. In other news… there seems to be a bird in my backyard that keeps taping on my backdoor window.
