~ at one time or another I bet someone called you a dodo bird or you called them a dodo bird. The true dodo bird used to be large and clumsy on land and was fat and lazy. The last signing of a dodo bird was in 1662 and they believe around that time they went extinct, but others say the dodo bird is only a myth. In sailors?s notes from the open seas, journals of the sea men said they preferred not eating dodo birds. The meat was pungent before being cooked and worse when cooked. Many times the gizzards the dodo bird would be served at high fancy dinners because they said the gizzards tasted awesome. The dodo achieved world widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it has since become a fixture in popular culture, often as a symbol of dim whittled knowledge and being lazy. Do not become a DoDo Bird Today.
