This is one of the fastest ways to roast a turkey ever invented ... just toss bird into the air and ready to snack on when in lands.

Easy solution. Ban use of the facility between 9 am and 6 pm. Should cut down on bird injuries.

Environmentalists hate birds as they poop and cause pollution.

Warning. Solar farms cause global warning. High heat kills wildlife and plant life. We are doomed.

Maybe we can catapault the pigs over the solar farm—the right trajectory and the right amount of time over the target........

If you don't have $2.2 billion to pick one of these babies up you can get a low end turkey fryer at Wally World for arond $40.

But you will need another $30 for oil.

It doesn't cook as fast and it won't fry them on the wing.

Poor Birds!

If you happen to be driving from So. Cal to Vegas-the road goes by that thing- It's creepy looking, and a total blight on the desert landscape.

"The plants is located on five square miles of the Mojave Desert,..."

They is! And a desert is the right kind of place to find that there "thermal flux" disease. Environmentalists who want to protest there should bring plenty of Brawndo! It's got electrolytes!
