Over the centuries, humanity has been so impressed by the splendor of the peacock's colors that this magnificent bird has variously been a symbol of divine beauty, endless love, paradise, purity, rebirth and God's omniscience. That is a quote from the New York Times. It pisses me off when they say something like that as an attention grabber. Just some poor newsroom interns attempt at linguistic poetry. Its like rap-man-do taking the stage with two of his hoes and saying "Thanks to the man upstairs".
Props God, props.

Thank you Rap-Man Hoe.
Your bootylicious flava and new hair makes the awards cermony worth the... I can't. I can't lie.
