San Diego, California (AP) -- Jonathan, the Snowy Owl made famous as the "O RLY" owl, has died in captivity in the San Diego Zoo.
The owl, which was 17 years old, died Tuesday afternoon after the sudden onset of pneumonia. He was young for an owl in captivity, however wild owls only live an average of 15 years.
David Phillips, executive director of the San Diego Zoo, said Jonathan had been in good health but started showing signs of lethargy and loss of appetite on Monday.
"This is a long sad day for us," Phillips said.
One of his handlers, Dale Richards, also said Jonathan died quickly. "Wechecked his respiration rate and it was a little irregular ... he wasn't doing too well," Richards told The Associated Press. "Early in the evening, he passed away."
The textual phrase "o rly?" was first popularized on the SomethingAwful forums. The phrase was initially one of many used during the FYAD sub forum’s fad of compressing words by removing unnecessary letters. While "O RLY?" is simply shorthand for "Oh, Really?", the most common image macro comes from 4chan, where for a short while, the word "repost" was word filtered to "owl". The Image macro and its attached phrase then spread rapidly throughout the Internet.
The “O RLY” owl was first created on www.OffTopic.com after an anonymous user added the phrase to a picture of a snowy owl. The owl quickly became popular on 4chan, and then spread to many other community websites such as Fark, spawning many more image macros involving owls.
Jonathon the “O RLY” Owl had recently started to turn this underground fame into mainstream success with his supporting role in the recent Wil Shriner blockbuster “Hoot”. And recently Live Journal-based musical group Local Pub Band came up with a song based around the owl, which is entitled "O RLY?". In the lyrics singer Agniya declares her desire to get to know and her love for the owl.
Nick Braden, a spokesman of the Humane Society of the United States, said veterinarians gave Jonathan antibiotics after he showed signs of lethargy Thursday, but it wasn't apparent how sick he was.
"They really do die quickly and there was nothing we could do," he said. Braden said "it's a really sad moment for us."
(OH NOES ANOTHER LEGEND GONE! I think this had been posted before but i cant search o rly or owl so i'll just post it anyway.)

Watch some comedians or some amazing movies like scarface, godfather or the lord of the rings (or any other classic).
That should do the trick

They have lots of beer and bratwurst.. they are really open and friendly people so don't worry about it.
Some german lessons:
Bist du eine geile bootsjungen?: Hello how are you doing?
Spetterpoep in deine gesichte: You look good today
Pinkel mich unter dan fuhle ich mich guy?: Do you want to come over to my place?
Du bist verruckt: You are intelligent
Most important: Bitte ein bier > One beer please

Joke:
World War III
Bush and Powell were sitting in a bar. A guy walked in and asked the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Powell?"
The barman said, "Yep, that's them."
So the guy walked over and said, "Hello. What are you guys doing?"
Bush said, "We're planning World War III."
The guy asked, "Really? What's going to happen?"
Bush said, "Well, we're going to kill 10 million Afghans and one bicycle repairman."
The guy exclaimed, "Why are you gonna kill a bicycle repairman?!"
Bush turned to Powell and said, "See, I told you no one would worry about the 10 million Afghans!"
I'm dutch.. so that means i can annoy you legally but american people can't annoy me back?

I recommend you to read chapter 1 first or you wouldn't understand the whole thing. If you find any bad spelling just look over it. Hope you enjoy. And sorry for the delay, busy times you know.
The Swap Chapter 2
The day has passed and a new day begun. It is dark and rainy ouside.
Regus woke up and changed his clothes, he couldn't stop thinking about the swap later that day. Then he decided to call boris and ask him to come over for discussing some details of the swap.
Regus: dials boris's number and waits till he hears a clear hello from boris 'Yo it's me Regus.'
Boris: You woke me up mate, god i'm tired. Well what is the news?
Regus: Well nothing really but do you want to come over to discuss some things of the 'youknowwhat'? (the police could be tapping the phone so he prefers not mentioning anything about the swap)
Boris: Well I haven't got anything to do so I'll be over in about a half hour, okay?
Regus: Excellent bring over Rys if you want.
Boris: I think I will. Till then, bye.
Regus: See ya! *And he closes the connection*
Regus spends the next twenty minutes looking at his special futuristic weapon in the kitchen till he suddenly hears some noises at the frontdoor. That must be Boris and Rys he thinks and walks towards the door. Sudddenly the door was kicked in and he sees three men he never saw before, Regus panics and tries to find his handgun but it's too late. One guy grapples him and puts a large knife on his throat.
?#1: Hi there Regus. I believe you have something that belongs to us?
?#2: Hahaha good one boss!
?#1: Shut up idiot. Regus, were is it? WERE IS THE WEAPON?
Regus refuses to talk.
?#3: Fool speak up or i'll SLICE YOU!!!
Regus: Okay okay i'll speak. That what you are looking for isn't here. (he tries to stay vague so he can delay the converstation a bit, boris could be here any time!)
?#1: You are funny kid! I KNOW it's here somewhere! Just make it nice and simple then maybee will let you live.
Regus: It's not here I SAY! I gave it to a mate from me.
?#1: Enough! Antonio trash this place up and find the weapon!
Just on that moment Boris and Rys spot the mess trough the side window. Boris takes his Uzi and start firing. Everybody inside jumps away on the ground. *RAKETAKETATATATATA* *TATA* Then a silence accured.
Boris: RYS GET IN! I'll cover you from here.
Rys get's in and spots the bloodbath. The guy called Antonio lays dead on the floor next to the other guy who has some shotwounds. *BAM* Rys got that sucker right between the eyes.
Rys: Get in Boris. Everything seems clear.
Boris quickly walks in.
Boris: Where is Regus?? And where is that other guy?
Rys: Look! A trail of blood all the way to the kitchen!
They both move to the kitchen and spot another broken window next to the fridge. They look trough it and they can see Regus laying on the grass next to the window.
They jump trough to the broken window. They spot regus with a wound on his forehead. It seems he was hit by some blunt weapon!
Regus: My head what happend? SHIT! He got the WEAPON!
Then a black sedan shows up with the so called boss in it. He fires some shots at Boris but he misses.
Boris: There he is. We have to follow that guy and wreck his ass!!
Rys: Let's get to the car.
Regus: Leave me here and go. I'll be fine.

Et tu?
Personally I prefer world war two games. Mostly they look the same and act realistic.
Call of Duty for instance or Medal of Honor: AA
Pacman or TMNT on the NES
I remember when i was trieing to escape from school on the first day of school. And in that week i managed to get out of school property once.

There lives is fucked up, even reading the stories makes you emo.
