Nation mourns bird killed in domino shooting
Reuters ^ | 11/18/05 | Reuters

Posted on 11/20/2005 6:27:20 PM PST by Kimmers

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch animal lovers are mourning a sparrow shot dead after it fluttered into an exhibition hall and knocked over thousands of dominoes set up in preparation for a world record attempt.

The sparrow will be commemorated in a live Dutch television broadcast of the domino-toppling Friday after a wave of national outrage at the shooting.

"We know we are responsible for a lot of emotion in the country and we realize we couldn't go on without properly marking this," said Jeroen van Waardenberg, a spokesman for reality TV company Endemol, the firm behind "Big Brother."

An exterminator shot the sparrow Monday in the northern city of Leeuwarden after fears the bird could upset more of the 4 million dominoes which staff had spent weeks balancing on their edges for the record attempt.

Dutch animal rights groups are outraged, especially as sparrows are a protected species in the Netherlands.

This seems like fair muneration from a socialist state, don't you think?

Would throwing bird flu into the mix be too much?

Don't see why they would be. Import some more damned birds if they are endangered.

Did they air Van Gogh's documentary after he was murdered by an Islamonazi?

"An exterminator shot the sparrow Monday ...."


"Shot" the sparrow? That`s some pretty good shooting to bring down a sparrow...

Sounds like it got what it deserved. Almost wiping out the most productive thing those bums have ever done. . .

English sparrows are a nuisance bird like rats or cockroaches. They make it difficult for more desirable bird species to exist in an area.

It not my fault, I only copied the answers given.

http://www.armory.com/swallow.html

What... is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow?
The account request procedure on DeepThought asks the applicant several questions ("What is your name?", etc.) For its amusement value, it was suggested to me that I throw in the swallow question from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The question appears amidst those related to account creation, without any context shift, so I expected it be somewhat jarring and had no idea what sort of responses I would get. As it turns out, most of those who bother to enter anything either recognize the question or attempt to come up with a suitably silly answer. See here for a serious attempt at an estimate of the answer to this question.

Below are the responses received from August 1993 through March 2001, ranked by the number of times each was given. The capitalization and punctuation is that of the first version of each response that was received. There were 3633 non-empty responses during this period; only those that consisted of at least three words are included here.
