Birds
We are humans. We are special. We have higher intelligence, we rule the earth. But can we leap into unaided flight? No we fucking cannot.
Water
If you have ever uttered the words "I do not like water", then please kindly take yourself outside to be shot. What the hell could be more wonderful than pouring a pint of cold water down your neck? Or drinking some?
An anecdote about Michael Craig-Martin's "An Oak Tree"
Michael Craig-Martin created an artwork called 'An Oak Tree' which consisted of an oak tree, in the form of a glass of water on a shelf, and a plaque informing people of the fact that what they were looking at was not a glass of water on a glass shelf at all, but was in fact an oak tree, in the form of a glass of water on a shelf. In all interviews and conversations he would insist that there was no glass of water, there was no shelf, there was only an oak tree. All very well, until Australia refused to let him into the country with what he insisted was an oak tree, because this would violate regulations on what was allowed to pass over the border. He was eventually forced to admit that it wasn't really an oak tree at all, which in my opinion shows a huge lack of conviction.

Smelling Things
Things smell wonderful. Smell the book you are reading, smell somebody's hair, smell your scarf after you've worn it all day wearing perfume, smell someone's armpits, smell a freshly painted fence, smell an unsmoked cigar. You probably should ask first before doing some of those things though.
