Ostriches hold their heads down low to better triangulate the kick that will best disembowel or break the jaw of a predator.

The "Flat Earth" meme is misleading too. Most humans who have ever actually thought about it have recognized the earth is spherical.

My illustration of "Conservatism" bias would be Creationism.
