Does anybody know if lions can climb trees?

Yes

I saw a monkey loose in Miami once. It was walking the phone lines (like squirrels will do).

... and I win the lottery.

You might want to try fishing the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania. I hear people have been catching some intact RPGs.

Might even catch dinner too.

I have often wondered if they could survive in the forests here. At least I know that one did. : )

Anglers' catch explosive
Associated Press

MONOCACY STATION, Pa. (AP) - This is no fish story: Two fishermen pulled a live military rocket out of the Schuylkill River.

Michael Nagy and Jeremy Lloyd found the rusted, 2-foot-long rocket in a shallow area of the river Sunday and dragged it to shore, police said. The men then posed to take photographs with the explosive before driving it to police.

"It was confirmed as an active military device, an RPG Rocket," said West Pottsgrove police officer Steven Ziegler. "It had the firing pin still in it. That's how we knew it was live."

The military-issue surface-to-air missile was designed to be launched out of a weapon, such as a bazooka, Ziegler said. The Montgomery County Sheriff Bomb Disposal Unit detonated the device at a remote location.

It's unclear how the missile ended up in the river. A similar explosive device was found in the Schuylkill River about six months ago, police said. That device had been discarded.

Monocacy Station is about 40 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Check that trip to Arkansas. Now I might just dangle a hook off the I-76 bridge. What kinda of bait do you think I should use.

Don't think a magnet would be an especially smart idea.

``I had a terrible headache and my blood pressure has been up. ... It's been a long ordeal,'' said Vaughan, whose husband, Johnny, killed two of the lions with his .30-06 rifle. ``Everybody is scared around here,'' added neighbor Arvil Skinner. ``People have to sit out with a high-powered rifle just to let their kids play in the yard. ``That's just how serious it is. It might be all right and it might not. They might still be out there. We just don't know.''

Ahhhhhh! Take away the .30-06, and you have life as it would have been, if the animal rights wackos had been in charge over the past 100,000 years!

Ha, just had a mental image of Reba McIntire in Tremors (speaking to husband Michael Gross) - "You didn't get penetration even with the elephant gun, good Lord!"

You might want to try a cottontail distress call. A taped recording is preferred since you do not want the target to home in directly to you. Set your tape player about 40 yards down-wind from your position. It is preferred if the wind is cross to your position.

If I remember correctly the lion attacks only from upwind, so you're in it's path when it stalks, not charges.

Just a thought.
