Facts about Ostriches, Eskimos and Camels

Together for the first time (as of 2012), here are some facts that I have gathered over the past couple of years about Ostriches, Eskimos and Camels.

• The Eskimos have eight hundred and seventy-six words for “snow”, but no word for “phlegm retardant cat”.
  
• An ostrich will often bury it’s head in the sand so that it looks like a fifth foot, thereby confusing predators.
  
• A camel will often sink it’s hooves into the sand so that it looks like four ostriches, thereby confusing predators.
  
• An ostrich will sometimes bury it’s entire body in the sand to look like the head of a much larger ostrich,
  
• An ostrich will sometimes bury it’s bodily waste in the sand, in the manner of a cat, thereby confusing predators.
  
• The Eskimos used to be referred to as “The Eskimo”, back when there was only one of them.
  
• The Eskimos have eight thousand words for “snow”, but absolutely no word for “I am not an Eskimo”.
  
• Eskimos have 564 words for snow, but no word for “word for snow”.
  
• At an ostrich funeral, the mourners bury their heads in the sand and wait until the deceased ostrich has been removed by vultures.
  
• People who have an obsession with ostriches and don’t know what’s wrong with them, often ignore the problem and bury their heads in the sand
  
• Interestingly, there is no information whatsoever in my local library, or those in surrounding counties, about people who are obsessed with Eskimos.
