So that was how they got coconuts there Mutants. What did they do, breed the African swallows with the European swallows and put them in a Monsano chemical dip.

Well you got a few options:
1. aim the basket right at center mass lower your head and run in there like a football player
2. just sit there quietly and grow old
3. or in a loud bold voice say "EXCUSE ME PLEASE" then say "Thank you" quite a few people just don't realize that they are rude some times it just takes a gentle but firm nudge.

I believe so. They had some problems at first due to the non-migratory nature of the African swallows. Who knows what other kinds of cross-breeding or other factors may have increased their range, size and cargo capacity.

Well, the point is though that the african swallows are the giants of the species weighing in at several ounces, therefore there would really be no advantage to crossbreed them with the smaller european swallows which have even less of a chance carrying a coconut. The real issue is the non-migratory nature of african swallows.

One must ask what would motivate a non-migratory bird to suddenly decide to pick up a coconut and fly halfway around the world.

I think maybe we should redefine the problem and start over.

I will admit my wife, Bless her poor soul is a loud telephone talker especially on cell phones, and I don't like that. Her office is upstairs at our house and mine is in the living room and I can hear every word she says over the constant din of bagpipes on CR.

Perhaps a mad Frenchmen genetically engineered a flock of African swallows, giving them the instincts to migrate for the express purpose of pelting England with coconuts. This would only be necessary, of course, once the supply of cows, chicken and geese were depleted.

Good point Todd, but maybe it was a mad Turk instead of a mad Frenchman. It is certainly no fun at all to get pelted with coconuts.

Now something that really gets to me is that when you are driving and you are the first in line at a red light and someone wants to make a right turn on red (legal in some states). Either (A) the person does not move, so you must sit there for the red light, or (cool.gif you move up for someone and they don't acknowledge that you moved for them. Just not much in courtesy these days. furious.gif fyou.gif giljotiini.gif

I hate that too. A simple wave to say "Thanks!" would be nice. I get that about half the time, so it's always a pleasant surprise.

Just exploring different possibilities.

Do you happen to know the current price of aluminum chlorhydrate (600 lb drums) by any chance?
