So, I flipped on Channel 13 -- the CBS news. Figured 'd catch up on what interesting events happened in Baltimore.
Well, the first story I saw was about the Oriole's spring training.
The clip showed a pitcher winding up, pitching ...
And streaking in from the right, a bird.
Yep, you guessed it. Baseball hit bird.
Bird exploded. Literally. Feathers all over the place, it's head spinning forward. Wow. It was, um, well ... kinda funny, actually
But sad. Very sad.

Well, if you got hit by a projectile nearly as large as yourself and travelling at 80-100mph, you'd probably be in a similar condition... :-)

1) During the 1984 (not sure exactly on the year) Indy 500 a rabbit strayed onto the backstretch of the track during the race. Two cars drafting one another hit the rabbit at appr. 230mph. The first car merely clipped the rabbit, the car behind it had the unfortunate accident of having the rabbit sucked into one of it's radiators on the side pods of the car. I think Rick Mears was driving that car, not sure...
2) During a recent Formula 1 race, a rabbit strayed onto the track and was nicked by the F1's Mercedes-Benz AMG Pace Car, which was doing roughly 150mph. Lets just say this wasn't a rabbit no more, because the thing was literally shot off to the side of the car, minus a good chunk of it's body.
Anyone else hungry?

It would have been interesting had it been an Oriole. Else, if it were a Blue Jay or a Cardinal, it could be percieved as an Omen of sorts.

I didn't entirely crush its skull. I merely displaced enough brain material (mostly through the cavities where its eyes were) to set the things hind legs into some sort of recursive feedback loop, causing it to do an impressive series of backflips before finally running out of energy.
I suppose there are things that can more quickly ruin a nice summer afternoon than this, but I am not aware of any.

So, Simon is now a goth-dressing gay wicca who murders small (and cute) animals during his free time.
He's certainly got more facets than would first appear.

I should introduce him to my housemates then - one's an animal loving, tree hugging hippy and the other one's a homophobe who (although I've never talked to him about it) would probably hate witches too if he thought about it. Should be an interesting confrontation....
