OT - Interesting Stats...

London Ontario has a population of 350,000 people... bigger then Pittsburgh or Cleveland...

With more than 500 gun-totting police officers patrolling London, making nearly 9,500 arrests last year. Although officers drew their handguns 127 times, pointed their firearms at suspects 100 times and fired shots on 37 occasions, the only bullets fired were directed at 36 injured deer and one wily coyote, according to a police report.

Lesson? Don't underestimate the wildlife.

I believe the coyote was using WMD to catch a road runner.

Supplied by Acme company of course.... I really think someone should investigate that company more closely!

The deer were suspect of being part of a stew.

The deer were members of the Antler gang, long suspected of being major members of a beer smuggling ring that was channeling Canadian beer into the United States (cause our home brewed beer is sort of like making love in a canoe....frigging close to water!). When the London police attempted to make an arrest, the deer resisted.

Any connection to a BBQ held that weekend is simply not true!

The coyote was suspected of being too smart for his own good. And incredibly clumsy in the handling of any sort of mechanical device.
