Where did he come from? How did he incorporate himself into duck society? How do we know he wasn't actually a significantly mutated duck on the path to becoming a new species and his metamorphosis doesn't represent a progress of science over the narrow-mindedness of organized religion?

Either way, mister, you've got some 'splainin to do.

Also: iPhone! :P

Edit: also, Mary-I assume this was Mary-being a very literal minded person, obviously was confused by the deliberately misleading title, and as such we are asking for 10000 pounds/dollars/simoleans :|

Edit2: because I am her lawyer


And this is a court case

In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 220 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 570 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 213 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 547 Views

Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 523 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 272 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 216 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 278 Views
