Team Dodo

This summer I will participate in a team oriented youth event called "Tribal Warfare." My team's name: The Dodos. While I'm not ecstatic about the disparaging epithet, I am absolutely aflutter to join these adolescents in annihilating our adversaries. 

According to a 1995 article by Jerry Bergman, the Dodo is not only extinct, but highly misunderstood. Many myths abound about the size, agility, and intelligence of this unique specimen. Clearly, those who held these beliefs had not studied it as well as they had thought. Notable characteristics of this fine feathered friend of ours are "swift on foot," leg bones were designed to allow shifting it's center of gravity, thin bodied. So, here you have it, the Dodo is, in fact, not the "obviously unfit" bird some claim it to be. 

May this be a sign to us of victory as a team who can take flight!
