The Drumsticks Of Doom
No maybe some of those doubters out there will begin to believe us about the menace of the Animal Uprising™. Because the animal overlords have figure out a way to cause the maximum amount of damage with the minimum amount of resource expenditure. Flaming crows cause a lot of damage.
ASPEN, Colo. - A bird that caught fire after being electrocuted at a substation is suspected of igniting a 2 acre wildfire Monday, officials said. Fire personnel weren't able to identify whether the bird was raven or a crow that flew into exposed elements hanging from a high crossbeam on poles.
There were no witnesses, so officials stopped short of saying the flaming bird was at fault.
The bird "got zapped when it hit one of those things they call a terminator," Pitkin County Deputy Joe Bauer said. "Then it fell, probably on fire, right at the base of one of these poles."
Absolutely the most aptly named piece of electrical equipment in the world. But consider the implications. After all, if one combustible Kamikaze crow can burn two acres, what could a flock of sizzling suicidal seagulls do?
