Haha, that's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

There's a frequent occurance of birds hitting themselves on the windows at my school. We'll be sitting in class, then WHAM. It's great. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I love how they try to make it sound like they KNOW why the birds dived into the asphalt.

There's no way to know that for sure, it's not like you can go up to the bird and ask it why it dived into the asphalt, and expect an answer (at least one that a human can understand).

It'd be better if they said "It is believed that the reasoning for this is because..." or something like that.

Alright, so I'm nitpicking... but it's still a valid point, I think anyway.

It is kinda funny though, but sad at the same time... poor birds. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

That used to happen at my house all the time. My grandma is convinced that they got drunk on the apples in our front yard. She says the apples fall from the tree, ferment, and then the birds eat them and get drunk. She's always been that way.

no wonder they're endangered.

Right now, I have a personal vendetta against birds. My parking space is under a cable wire and every day i find bird s*** on my car. If i'm lucky, I find it and wash it off before it dries. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/mad.gif]

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

This whole birds slamming into asphalt kind of makes you think "Hey... where is the cream filling?", doesn't it?

Yeah, no wonder they're endangered. Has anyone *been* to AZ? Anyway, of course I feel bad for them, maybe they should try to slurp some hummingbird water from a feeder.

Don't suppose they could be endangered because they're STUPID.

It's man's fault though, actually. If only we hadn't have put asphalt in the middle of the desert those poor birds would still be alive. *sob*

Try looking at it this way: All animals are stupid. They were doing fine before.
