Notes from EL TEMBLOR DE VIRGINIA:

"The first warnings of the earthquake may have occurred at the National Zoo, where officials said some animals seemed to feel it coming before people did. The red ruffed lemurs began “alarm calling” a full 15 minutes before the quake hit, zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said. In the Great Ape House, Iris, an orangutan, let out a guttural holler 10 seconds before keepers felt the quake. The flamingos huddled together in the water seconds before people felt the rumbling. The rheas got excited. And the hooded mergansers — a kind of duck — dashed for the safety of the water."

The end of an era?

I saw a comment that someone posted on faceBOX the other day. Someone had gone to interview a famous Singer of Pop music. But they told the world via their status "update" this information and they DID NOT INCLUDE AN EXCLAMATION POINT. It was debated in the comments section as to wether this was the correct choice and ultimately it was deemed correct. So I wonder has the decade of 3rd case and the Exclamation mark been passed or are we still in it ?!?!?!?!
