LOLZ, and this is the same guy that eschews wearing of seatbelts in case of that "one in a million" situation where the setbelt will get you killed.

I haven’t hit anything as of yet but I have a sortof interesting story from someone that I know.

Maj. Scott Moore flew B-52's for SAC during the cold war; he was doing a training exercise up in Alaska. (I think, not really sure though) They were doing a practice bombing run, flying treetop level at night, they were about.. I wanna say 3 seconds to drop. Flying along fat dumb and happy, then.....
[SIZE=8]BAM[/SIZE]
something hits 'em right in the nose of the aircraft, in front of the co-pilot's position. They decide to abort the bomb run and rtb just to be safe, so they land and when the flight crew checks the damage...they find the remains of an owl, splattered all over the back of the copilots instrument panel.

that owl must have been suicidal.

Darwin isn't calling for me. And yes, swerving and brakes work perfectly. And I have no use for a seatbelt because I miss them. So what if the guy in the other lane gives me the bird, I don't care aboot him. Too many people in this world anyways. Heck, you guys worry more aboot the damage to your car than the damage to the animal. Cars can be fixed, lives can't be given back. I'm not a PETA idiot, I just think unwarranted killing is wrong. If you guys ate the deers that you hit, then good. But most of you just leave it there to rot, wastefull Americans. Stupidity, laziness, and wastefullness are the most rampant diseases today. "A man should work by the sweat of his brow." And people think fast food is what is making America fat, what happened to the work we used to do? Sent overseas or done by machines. People used to eat well, they didn't get fat, they got strong, because they worked. They walked to work. They rode horses, which actually requires some skill. America aint America no more. It is no longer the great country it used to be, it is full of lazy idiots who think work is sitting at a desk all day, and then going home. Who think work is watching things go down the assembly line and hitting a button if they get a little sideways. Who think money is the whole point of life. Who no longer beleive in God. I think another Great Depression would do America some good. At least it would teach us not to be so wastefull.

on my first driving lesson i saw a huge dead raccoon in the road which the instructor told me to just pass over. it cleared under the car but when the truck behind me hit its big bloated corpse it made a loud popping sound and splashes guts all over his truck.

somewhere i found a report of an alaskian airlines 737 hitting a salmon in flight. it said something lik the fish was dropped by an eagle that was scarred by the 737 taking off. must be weird hearing the captain say " attention passengers we will be returning to the airport due to a fish strike".

i saw a tour bus in florida hit a gator, messed up the bus, dont know how the gator fared

Maybe a decade ago a flock of geese in Alaska took out an AWAC, plane destroyed crew killed.   I was freeking out a bit because I knew an AWAC crew member and there's only son many of them.

I just recalled another kill, wasn't by me but a golfing buddy of mine. We were at Pebble Beach golfing. On the 8th hole, it is a somewhat blind tee shot up over a little hill. The caddy told my buddy to aim at the seagull sitting near the top of the hill in the fairway. The tee shot hit the seagull in the head on the fly, died on the spot. Funny thing was as soon as he hit the ball you could see it was tracking dead on the seagull.

I was driving home one night when I came around a blind corner.  As I got around I saw a groundhog in the middle of my lane.  I didn't swerve at all.  Just before he passed out of sight because of my hood, he stood up.  I heard a good solid CLUNK as I put the force of the car solely onto this poor ****er's head doing 40.

What really pisses me off is that I actively try to kill the groundhogs on my property.  They are very resourceful little buggers and are actually very hard to kill.  But they seem to run in front of cars like it's the cool thing to do.

I was up in Yosemite with the missus last Spring. We were following this guy in a Chevy Tahoe out of the park when a bear cub darted out of the trees right in front of him. He manged to slow down a bit, but still hit the cub which rolled once, got up and kept running.

All the while my missus is screaming at me to stop and check the cub is OK. I had to explain really slowly that where a bear cub was, a bear mum might not be too far off and facing down a maternally outraged brown bear was not in my plans for that morning.

I was riding up front with the driver in one of these about 4am on the way back to Austin....




Saw a flash greyish white - heard a big bump, and continuing bumps from the rear left side. The driver freaked out, but it happened so fast there wasn't even time to hit the brakes.

Anyway, we pull into this truckstop about 5am, and all the people are giving us horrid looks....

we get out and there some deer pelt and blood stuck to the front of the bus, and more bit's n piece as well as this huge streak of blood all the way down the left side of the bus.

We were doing around 75 when we hit it...never felt a thing other than the thuds. Nothing damaged on the besides the front bumper and a slight dent in the nose of it.
