    About the flamingos… I thought it might be nice to explain why exactly Madison, Wisconsin is so interested in pink flamingos. Well, aside from the fact that we’re all nuts here, because there’s that too. The picture you’re looking at is from 1979. It’s Bascom Hill, part of the UW Madison campus, and those are 1,008 plastic pink flamingos. It was one Madison’s more iconic college pranks. Madison has always had a good sense of humor about itself, and I suppose this further proves it because, last night the city council voted on naming the plastic pink flamingo as our Official City Bird. It passed.
