Good thing your blog is there. ;)

Question: Might you have hit an armadillo, or was it too big? I could certainly understand someone saying an armadillo "looked like a cross between a boulder and a spare tire," and they have perhaps the WORST survial instinct in the world, particularly for roads: Faced with an approaching threat, the armadillo often freezes and, if said approach continues, leaps vertically into the air at the last minute. I am unsure what bizarre species of predator against which this defense is foolproof. Against cars, however, it means even if ones lines up and straddle a dillo there is no time to avoid, it rewards that desperate thoughtful protectiveness by jumping head first into the undercarriage and instantly killing itself anyway.

They are also among the few non-human species susceptible to leprosy, which they evidently acquired from us, and can readily return to those who consume them (yes, some people eat armadillos.) As if they were not already weird enough, the armadillo always bears litters of four, no more, no less, like a reproductive Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

The previous decade or so, chicken places have become notorious for not having chicken. - 30/06/2012 01:46:07 PM 382 Views
And they don't even have the best chicken. - 30/06/2012 05:03:09 PM 350 Views
How can you like Mickey Ds chicken better than Popeyes? - 30/06/2012 06:05:17 PM 311 Views
You answered your own question (and, , briefly, which is a bit cruel). *NM* - 01/07/2012 02:41:05 PM 213 Views
