The Queue: Ducks

Ducks and their relatives have been around for a long, long time — there are fossils of waterfowl related to ducks and geese going back to before the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction event. Vegavis was not an ancestor of or a member of the Anatidae, but it was certainly a relative. Other possible (although more dubious) duck relatives include the Demon Duck of Doom, aka Bullockornis, although a lot of paleontologists think they’re more closely related to chickens.

Why on Earth do I bring this up? Well, WoW has a tendency to add things like saber teeth or spiked tails to animals that did not or do not actually have them. And man, I’m hoping they go whole-hog on ducks and give us something like Garganornis except with giant teeth in its bill for no reason whatsoever.

It’s the Queue. Let’s duck this!


The Queue: But what’s happening to my justice points?

Truly time is a mutable force, able to be changed and altered by many means, from nostalgia to pain, from elation to grief. We cannot know exactly what time holds for us, only that everything will change, but the past always remains the same, and can help to inform the future.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we wax philosophical and hope you don’t realize we’re super late. Not like there’s anything else going on anyway.
