You ran over another deer?
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Not over. The guy behind me saw it, and said the deer did a complete spin. Plus, it impacted on the right side of my bender, and wound up on the other side of the road.

Physics tells us there are four forces behind the universe:
Electromagnetic force The weak nuclear force The strong nuclear force Gravitational force
Einstein worked on a theory to unify all four of these forces, but he failed. The reason:
He missed the fifth, and perhaps most mysterious force.
The Snay-Deer Attractive Force

I am glad I don't drive outside the city now.... Having moved a couple hundred miles south makes missing the deer a nice thing....
Any bets on how soon #4 takes place???

Jeez, Snay. I think it's time you put that "Darth Jeep" tagline up again. Posted by Herr Kapitan Mike (Member # 709) on :
this will continue for quite some time

Almost got one myself yesterday...the bugger came all the way up to the edge of the highway (thankfully it was pretty empty) and stopped. I had seen it running up and stopped as well. We kinda looked at each other as if daring the other to move for almost a full minute before he ran off the way he came and I went on my way to work once again.
(EDIT: Ask a stupid question...figure out the answer yourself right after posting..)

If you see deer on the side of the road, honk. They're attracted by headlights for some stupid fucking reason.
Posted by Nimpim (Member # 205) on :
Oh boy.
Ever wonder why it's dead quiet in a forest when you trample through? Because we know there must, statistically, be hundreds of small, medium and large animals all over the place.
Deers, like every other forest mammal, freeze when they see or hear something that can be a potential danger. In nature, freezing makes it very hard for the predator to "lock on" to the prey.
Nature hasn't caught up to human technology yet, so the deer have no choice but to believe that if they freeze, the bad will go away.
Same old story, with power comes responsibility.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Yeah, nice theory, but it doesn't explain why the fucking deer RUNS ACROSS THE ROAD as I'm driving 45 mph with my headlights on.
Deer, like Omega, are very suicidal.

You have deer, we have Kangaroos. I wonder what other countries have?
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Well, lots of countries have deer. Lots of continents, too. As far as I know, only Australia has kangaroo. Do they become road-kill often?
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
What I don't get is that neither me nor anyone in my family has ever even come close to hitting a deer (or an elk, or a mountain goat, or a bighorn sheep, or a moose, or a mountain caribou, or pretty much anything else that's hairy and runs across the road), and we live in one of the deeriest places on the continent.
You ain't normal, dude.

Now you're talking, sailor!
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Maybe the deer are attracted by the stench of pizza that oozes from your Jeep?

Yes Kangaroo's in some parts can be in plague proportions. When you get out country there are signs (I'm sure you've all seen them) picture of a Kangaroo with next 100km etc.
Or wallabies, or wombats, or possums, or emus.
There was a poor wallabie/kangaroo (didn't get close enough to look but probably a wallabie) just down the road a month or so ago - dead on the side of the road. Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
After I hit the deer, I called the police (despite the offer of a passing motorist to finish the sucker off with a crowbar). Cop arrived, we were talking (he asked me if I was okay, blah-blah-blah), I said yeah, mentioned this was the third deer I'd hit in two years ... and he gave me the oddest look, told me he'd been working the northern district of the County for many a year and never hit a single deer.
Maybe it IS just me. Maybe deer know that if they hit me, I won't drive off to let them wander around with a broken leg, I'll make sure they get axed. Suicide by Snay.
Or,
!
and for good measure,
?
Or,
Fuck you all, in the buttholes, with a tree trunk.
Have a nice day. Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :

Sounds like a somewhat half-assed suicide on the deer's part.

I never said the deer were SMART.
I'm writing about this as part of a paper, actually. I end it with, "I haven't yet decided if deer are simply the world's stupidest animals, or just suicidal as a species."
