Well knowing what you do know about ducks and ponds; if you saw a nice clean pond in Australia and you saw a duck flying toward the nice clean pond in Australia, would appearances lead you to a reasonable conclusion that the duck might be doing that so's to take a swim in the pond in Australia? I hesitate to draw a conclusion as to why the duck would be doing that... Maybe the duck needs to take a rest, or get a bite to eat, or find a mate, or take a crap in the pond ... or perhaps a swim in the pond benefits him in some other way like maybe the Israel Jewish Affairs Council is funding him to make an appearance in the pond... naaah, why would they do a dumb thing like that, what benefit could they possibly be getting by spending their money to have a duck fly all the way from a duck rearing pond in Jerusalem, just to sit in a nice clean pond in Australia? I sure can't think of one.
