Re: Solidarity/Misanthropy (was Re: In defense of Windows)

On 2009-10-23, David Cameron Staples (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:
in Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:30:53 +0000, Lawns 'R' Us in hic loco scripsit:

For example: the tale (which I cannot corroborate right now, but which I
completely believe) of the crow that would get a nut, fly to an
intersection, wait for the lights to turn red, drop the nut in front of
a car tyre, fly to the side of the road, wait for the cycle from red to
green and back to red, and then pick up the pieces of the nut from off
the roadway.

You mean these crows? <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGPGknpq3e0>

Why did the crow cross the road?

Because it saw Chuck Norris on the other side and wanted to steal his
beard to make a better nest.
