Does their beak auto-destruct before I can get my hands on it?

I'm back doing my work term at the C@P site like I did last year. Not making any money this time.

You may ask "Wait, what happened to your $20 an hour dream job?" Well they eventually figured out that it wasn't cost-effective to hire two guys to sit in their cubicles and do nothing all day, so they kept my friend on and didn't renew my contract. Oh well, I made $2,100 after taxes to just play Genesis games all day, I won't complain.

Started playing World of Warcraft. It's been a while since that one week where I played a trial account (My lvl15 NE Rogue is still sitting on the Arthas server). Decided I wanted to go with a server that not only has people on it, but people I know (i.e. Tiana and now Nick).

Blood Elf Paladin, lvl 14 so far.

I'm sure every WoW player complains about this at one point in their careers, but when you're on a quest to get the bodyparts of various creatures (Beaks, Hooves, etc), does it not make sense that they should always drop them? I mean, when I kill a "Farstrider" (Ostrich), does their beak auto-destruct before I can get my hands on it? If I physically look at the dead animal, I could SEE a beak.

In any event I was able to make short work of my $1400 paycheck. I'll break it down:

-19" Widescreen LCD Monitor
-1GB DDR RAM
-DVD-RW Drive
-Keyboard
-4GB Flash Drive
-GeForce 7600
-World of Warcraft
-World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade
-World of Warcraft game card
-Counter Strike Anthology
-Star Trek: Encounters
-Dicksmokes: Forbidden Memories
-Walther P99 C02 Gun
-Three seasons of ER on DVD (Mother's Day)

And I still want to buy a cell phone.
