If you have a parrot and you don’t teach it to say, “help I’ve been turned into a parrot” you’re wasting everyone’s time.

@Talyaa I would also teach mine to say "pieces of seven!"

@lnr @Talyaa That would be a Parity Error!

@Winwaed @Talyaa a parroty error :) I probably first learned that joke about 1996.

@lnr @Winwaed @Talyaa ha - came here to post that joke, and have been telling it just as long ..

My variant is 'what goes "pieces of nine, pieces of nine", because I'm assuming an eight bit word and single parity bit.

I do take great delight in finding new victims who will understand it - sadly a reducing number :-(
