Turkey ruffles feathers at Harvard Business School

The Crimson reports that some students at the school are so upset by a turkey in their midst that they have, gasp, set up a Facebook group to protest its presence.

Yeah, a Facebook group will show that turkey! I can't wait to hear its reaction when it logs in to see it! Wow!

In the world they are headed for, there are plenty of turkeys. Doesn't every turkey have a facebook account?

Besides, isn't it more than a little unAmerican to bitch about the vice-national bird (it was Franklin's choice, I believe).

Don't know if it is actually true, but maybe somebody should let them know that the presence of Turkeys is believed to keep away skunks. They wouldn't want a skunk invasion, now would they?

Lion and tigers and bears and - turkeys?

Man, these people really need to get a grip on reality. they sound like some of the suburbanites out by me that want to maintain their perfect world.

The fact that one of the HBS students was actually quoted saying this makes my head spin. HBS turkeys seem to come in both avian and human versions.

Book smart

I don't know if the phrase "book smart" is still around, but this is a classic case of it. Yup, I go to HBS, but don't ask me anything that requires common sense.

how many of them try to pet it?

I love how they can't seem to fathom that there might be more than 1 turkey hanging around.

A Globe reporter tried petting it

From the Globe story today:

The speedy hen, who yesterday chased a reporter who tried to make her acquaintance, has some fans on campus.

"tried to make her acquaintance"??

Be my friend, apparently female turkey.

Oh man
