It wasn't my fault! Honest!..............
Save the planet! Eat a Beaver!
And they make nice coats too — although prickly around the face. Sheared beaver is nicer around the chin.
Bob Costas will be devastated.
This is so exciting!
If beavers can sequester this much carbon by building dams and keeping dead trees under water, then just think how much carbon humans can sequester by turning dead trees into lumber and keeping it under paint or siding!
I was at the Berlin Zoo today and thought I saw a beaver but was told it is a water pig. Thing was huge. I wanted to shoot half the animals in the zoo.
Yep. Beavers make men buy fast cars. Fast cars use more gas and produce more greenhouse gases. Some beavers are so hot that they create their own climate change. Of course, some beavers are cold as hell, but they just get ignored and really don’t offset the hot ones at all.
Who would have thought that beavers impact the environment/S
I wonder how much she was paid to find this startling information.
This isn’t going to end well.
End? Hell it didn’t even START WELL!.............
Idiotic.
Most beaver dams have a lifespan of decades at most, making essentially no difference in the carbon cycle.
I heard that there is an exit 69 off of an interstate highway, which leads to Big Beaver Road.
Thanks! (I think...)
“I was at the Berlin Zoo today and thought I saw a beaver but was told it is a water pig. Thing was huge. I wanted to shoot half the animals in the zoo”
Have to explore that. You wanted to shoot them because: A) They would make a great BBQ, B) They were freakishly big, and just needed killin’, C) They gave you stink-eye and forgot you were the alpha-dog, or D) All the above.
Now they are blaming beavers.
Next they will be blaming the intern.
And the classic “Ward, weren’t you a little hard on the Beaver last night?”
There actually was a mid sized donkey that needed killing at the petting zoo. Place was a madhouse with so many kids. My wife said pet the little goat but I didn’t want to pet the goat. Then a boy let the donkey out of its gate and it charged the goat, bit it on the back and pinned it to the ground.
The goat was screaming, then a large woman clapped her hands and the donkey let go and went in circles kicking its back legs like crazy. We left that part of the zoo and then I didn’t trust any of them.
In the long run, nothing makes any difference to the carbon cycle. That's why they call it a 'cycle'. ;-}
