We have already seen what happens when Canadian Geese go kamikaze and take out an airliner. We put a pretty spin on it when the pilot, showing exceptional skill and presence of mind, landed in the river. But those on the inside know it wasn't an accident.

Mother nature is going to start kicking back. I'm personally waiting for the dolphins with head-mounted lasers.

Art, I thought the ill-tempered sea bass were getting the head-mounted lasers?

...or in the shower stall first thing in the morning, when you're too nearsighted to see the "tuna in the pan"...
Don't know why, but that's always where she left it.

Cats puke into locations you frequent as a form of tribute. It seems to be a 'Look what I made mommy' sort of thing. Much the same way they bring in the small animals they murder as a pastime and compulsion.

I'm waiting for bears with body armor. Squirrels with zip-guns.

Tim Bedore has been warning the world of the Great Animal Conspiracy for years. Some people call it comedy, but those in the know see the stark truth. wink

I would give anything if our cats would barf in the shower. Ours seem to head for the nicest furniture we own.

One of our cats has been yeowling through the night for the past few weeks and I'm fairly certain that he's a regional leader in the conspiracy. His main objective seems to be to wear us down through exhaustion, and I suspect the other cats are finalizing their tactical plans for the second wave of the hostile take-over.

My cats left half a dead mouse (the bottom half) in my porch. Almost stepped on it with sock feet the other morning. Bleah.

I thought they were just doing their job. But now I think about it, maybe it's a cat mafia warning, like the 'horse head in bed.'

during WWII, B.F.Skiner trained pigeons to peck on an image of a ship on a glass plate...keep it centered and they were rewarded with corn...a lens device was constructed to project an image of a real ship, repeated pecks on a not centered image caused the tilt table to mechanically steer the bomb it was attached to...could have used one on the Paul Doumier Bridge

I have a Cardinal that has been pecking on my den window for a month now. I'm not talking about an occasional bump, I'm talking full blown morse code type pecking, from the time the sun comes up till it goes down. Just maybe the bird is sending messages to my 2 house cats. After some dubious searching I found this nugget.
