Farms in India have reached out to the authorities after repeatedly being attacked by opium-addicted parrots.

Farmers in Madhya Pradesh say their opium crops are being ruined by parrots who keep returning to raid their farms in an attempt to get high. The farmers have been guarding the fields day and night to protect their poppies, but the birds are willing to risk it all to get their beaks on the opium, which is being farmed for medical purposes.

Did ever have one of those tests where the first instruction was to read all instructions first? Second instruction was to write your name at the top of the test. After that where all kind of crazy instructions like standing up and shouting your name etc. Last instruction was to was to complete only instructions 1 and 2. ;)
Yeap... but I never fell for it, cause I had the habit of always first reading the tests in a bottom to top order before getting started. That way I had a quicker grasp of which were the hardest (and easiest) questions.

Well I didn't fall for it because I knew how to take instructions. I do remember a test we had in electronics class. It was multiple choice. I didn't realize it but there was a pattern. The answers to the test spelled out Merry Christmas and Happy New year If you have your pocket screwdriver. Didn't get a 100% I missed a couple. Would have aced it had I been more observant. .
