Oh, hey, it's cauliflower rice, which smells like farts, and knows that you have your doubts,

but it's excited to prove you wrong, alleyward.

Back with another episode of Oligis, this one's just light as a feather, nothing but wall-to-wall

behavior, and biology, and trivia, and weirdness, and history, let's get into it.

But first, I want to thank you to everyone who buys Oligis merch, at oligismerch.com,

to keep everyone supporting on patreon.com slash oligis, and for everyone who tells friends

or rates the show on iTunes or subscribes that keeps it up in the charts or reviews, which

you know, I creep gently.

So I can pull a fresh catch each week, like this one from the dusty Wrangler, who says,

hearing how normal all these scientists are is making returning back to school a lot less

intimidating, and that's just what I needed.

One thing though, now every time I wash my hands, I do hear you whispering in my ear

to milk my thumbs.

And I only resent that a little bit, thanks for the reminder.

Thank you to the dusty Wrangler for that, and all the reviewers, especially also to Mike,

the nighttime nurse for listening, and much more so for saving lives.

We love y'all.

Okay, plumology, did you know this was a thing?

I did not.

So it comes from the Latin for down, or for first beard, and later plume came to mean like

a stream of smoke.

So we're talking all manner of feathers.
