Darn, where's that screen clean-up kit!?!?

Now we know how Bhuck gets to all his D1 games without all that pesky traffic!

That is some funny stuff! :p

Will this work on chipmunks? My father-in-law will get a kick out of this...he uses the little traps for the chipmunks...takes them to a park that is about 7 miles away and he swears they always come back....

Although I am a member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals), I find this experiment to be completely disgusting. :mad: This is animal cruelty.

Haven't you ever heard of flying squirrels?

It is. And I'd never do it. But the initial shock of seeing that squirrel take off was startling in a funny way, and I enjoyed thinking about our own Offical Squirrel using it as a method of transport.

No, but I do look for these, because then I know I will get a city final. :eek:

I think squirrels are like cats, they always land on their feet, unless they hit a tree first.

This brings up an interesting point.

We all know cats always land on their feet.
We also know bread always lands jelly side down.

So...what happens if we staple a piece of jellied bread to the back of a cat then drop the assembly from the 6th floor?

The assembly will hover never touching the ground, much like the oil in Robert Millikan's Experiment.

Speaking of flying squirrels, there is a place in Seattle that sells incredibly weird stuff. It's Archie McPhee. www.mcphee.com

You can get their catalog and buy toys that fling objects through the air (not real ones, duh), like the cat-a-pult, chicken chucker, boss toss, chuck-a-duck, cattle pult and my personal favorite, the nun chuck. I also have the lunch lady action figure and the yodeling pickle.

Sorry for the plug, but these guys are worth it. I've been buying stuff from them since 1979.

Yeah, in Newton's world...but Schroedinger may have a different answer...we'll need to figure out where to put the geiger counter though.

yeah...it's pretty clear you've been buying *someone's* stuff since way before 1979
