Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Especially ducks. Epcot ducks. UK Epcot ducks. Ducks who like to listen to the British Revolution band in the UK pavilion. Ducks who gossip about children trying to talk to them in a language humans cannot even begin to comprehend.

Do ducks have their own duck language? Are animals able to communicate with each other within their own species. Would it be possible for a duck to learn to speak cat? Maybe ducks, cats, possums, ring tailed bears, and even platypuses are able to learn the languages of each other. Speaking of, do platypuses quack? When can I meet one? I need to go to Australia at some point in my life and be reassured that they are, in fact, not extinct. Who told me this, when, and why?! I have been lied to all of my life. But enough about platypuses. Maybe bears can speak to birds and we don't even realize it. Maybe all mammals can communicate together, along with being able to speak to flying creatures, but reptiles are excluded. Sorry Mr. Alligator: no you CANNOT date Miss Koala. Maybe marsupials can all talk together, like the wombats and kangaroos are tight, but the Tasmanian Devils are all "to hell with this family, we'll talk among ourselves." Are Tasmanian Devils the super stuck-up cousins? Maybe they are. If I were a Koala, I would SO not like the TD's. "GET OUT OF MY YARD. PLEASE AND THANK YOU. AND STOP MAKING FUN OF MY NOSE."

Maybe the animals will eventually take over the world. How do we know they haven't all been plotting against humans since we first existed on this earth. (Could it be aliens? And I say, YES.) Maybe they don't all know the same language, but are able to communicate telepathically. Maybe their sounds, like quacking, mooing, meowing, woofing, oinking, etc. are just to satisfy humans. Maybe they just make the noises to try and keep humans from realizing what they're truly up to.

They're going to form a band greater than the Beatles and we'll be doomed for the rest of our days. Lord almighty, the ducks are going to ruin George Harrison.
