A cartoon illustration of an introspective Minotaur lying in bed after his 6am alarm has just sounded. Caption reads "As his alarm sounded the Minotaur realized he had no love left for guarding the maze the rest of his life. Things needed to change."

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #478: The Dodo.

The dodo was actually intelligent and inedible, contrary to popular belief.
They went extinct mainly due to habitat loss and the introduction of invasive species by explorers, rather than being hunted. It didn't help that they had no fear of humans, like penguins today. They were initially named
"Walghvoghel" meaning "tasteless bird" by early Dutch explorers. And as members of the family Columbidae, which includes pigeons, they were probably of above-average avian intelligence. — The dodo was actually intelligent and inedible, contrary to popular belief.
