I Stole This Because It's Funny

I have nothing to do since WoW is offline again for the third morning in a row. Damn I wish they'd get their shit together. We watched Ghostrider & Rob went to bed. I've removed my profiles from so many networking sites in my effort to free up time for school, so now that I have no class this summer, I've got more time to aimlessly surf. Death & gore sites hold no interest for me anymore, except when I'm feeling particularly sick & twisted inside... I can only shop so much, there's nothing new on rotten.com, porn is blase, no new comics on PennyArcade... so I went by the Indiana Coyote Rescue Site & caught up with them.

This came from You Can Always Blame Coyote

"The world’s greatest omnivore

In a study covering coyotes in Yellowstone National Park in 1937-38, the legendary biologist Adolph Murie recorded the following among “miscellaneous food and non-food times” in 5,086 coyote droppings:

Horse manure
Garbage
Trash
Muskmelon
Apple
Corn refuse
Paper
Canvas-leather glove
Rag
Butter wrapper
Twine
Banana peel
Orange peel
Leather (one piece containing rivet)
Cellophane
Steak bone
Grape seeds
Mouse nest material
Seven inches of curtain
Pear
Prune seed
Match
Two square inches of rubber
Tinfoil
Shoestring
Mud
Paint-covered rag
Eight inches of rope
Three square inches of towel
Lemon rind
Bacon rind
Two pieces of shirt
Canvas
Gunny sack
Isinglass
Botfly larvae

All this was in addition to the usual diet of mammals, birds and invertebrates. In Murie’s study, a coyote was more likely to have eaten a canvas-leather glove than a mushroom."

You know, if these midwestern farmers are having such a problem w/coyotes eating their sheep, they ought to get more big dogs, perimeter lighting or emus. Emus up at Bonnie Springs did an admirable job at keeping the coyotes at bay.

I read a story not too long ago about a large male wolf who had been seen (and busted by an unbelieving cop) chasing cars. No more reports have come in since the cop spotted him... probably embarrassed that wolf to death.

Bad dog!

People like this give the rest of us Pagans a bad rap. Wotta fucking moron. Thanks, there, John Anderson, way to take one for the team.
Hey, everyone, I'm an obsessed, murderous Drood!
