    Errr, birdstrike?

    This Yank C-130 Hercules hit a bald eagle. Apparently the pilot was uninjured as it entered a lower window but same can't be said about the unfortunate bird....

    Looks like the por bird was rear-ended. That plane was obviously following too close!

    Yes!..but much worse

    I had a flock of little seed eating bastards "swirl" out of a field of tall grass and straight across the road in a heaving ball of feathered pain!...plowed straight through the middle of them!
    ...it was NOT pritty to say the least...and the smell
    Bike and me got covered in blood and feathers & I thought I had a broken Rib(little bastards HURT!!...ALOT!!!!), but it was cleaning the "mess" off the leathers and the bike that was the worst part(ohhh god the engine stank!....and I could smell it for weeks!!)

    When Life thows me a curve
    ...I lean into it!

    Would that be 20 minutes on high or simmer for 4 hours on low heat?
