Lark

Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Anonymous

Larks are passerine birds of the predominantly Old World family Alaudidae. Only one species, the Shore Lark, has spread to North America, where it is called the Horned Lark.

Larks are small terrestrial birds with often extravagant songs and display flights. This fact, combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — has ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music (the skylark being eulogised in "The Lark Ascending" (1914) by Ralph Vaughan Williams, for example).

Larks nest on the ground, laying 2–6 speckled eggs. Like many ground birds, most lark species have long hind claws, which are thought to provide stability while standing.

Most larks are fairly dull in appearance. They feed on insects and seeds.

Larks symbolise happiness, hope, good fortune, freedom, joy, youth, creativity and a new day.

She was offered the part-time job, which started out at $450 a week but included a pile of Google stock options that she figured

Bonnie Brown was fresh from a nasty divorce in 1999, living with her sister and uncertain of her future. On a lark, she answered an ad for an in-house masseuse at Google, then a Silicon Valley start-up with 40 employees. After 5 years of kneading engineers’ backs, Ms. Brown retired, cashing in most of her stock options, which were worth millions.

As I was watching Webb Alert, I saw a reference to the Playstation Network in one of her ads. As a lark, I went to the site and noted our favorite podcasters in their classic Diggnation picture.
