- fquednau, on 07/18/2008, -0/+34Nicely written. Pigeons are bad, but I'm quite happy we have no sexually harassing, food-stealing gangs of bad-ass monkeys in Germany's gardens.
- J3EBS, on 07/18/2008, -0/+27Guts, I could handle. Maybe. But if a 10-foot whale dick sailed over a quarter mile and landed on me, I'd have to kill myself, if it didn't already do that. I can picture the tombstone now:
"Pounded by a whale dick until he died" - Xenostar, on 07/18/2008, -0/+25Rabbit section made me laugh out loud a few times. Great article.
- ltethe, on 07/18/2008, -0/+25Damn. How is Cracked.com so good? Somehow these top whatever lists are consistently entertaining.
- ExRe, on 07/18/2008, -0/+20Hello, you've reached Geico claims service, how may I help you?
A HUGE PIECE OF ROTTING WHALE JUST FELL OUT OF THE SKY AND LANDED ON MY CAR! - megamod, on 07/18/2008, -0/+15Well...the pigeon concept was practical and humane and it seemed to have worked. What's it doing in that list?
- morningmatters, on 07/18/2008, -1/+14Anyone who lives in a big city can probably attest to the pigeon problem. I always get bird crap over my car, especially after I go to the car wash. I can only hope that boston will do something about this problem.
- shutaro, on 07/18/2008, -0/+12But did your mom get scared and say "You're moving with your auntie and uncle to Bel Air"?
- 3sicasity, on 07/18/2008, -2/+14one day, all of the animals are going to consider us pests and try to exterminate us.
- ath1337, on 07/18/2008, -0/+11"Whale removal experts all over the world watched the situation closely, and apparently decided it was the most awesome ***** thing they had ever seen."
DUGG! - Rodalli, on 07/18/2008, -0/+9Stopped reading and dugg it for, "It exploded its guts all over bystanders, cars and shop fronts, like a pinata at Satan's birthday party."
- VacantThoughts, on 07/18/2008, -0/+9Its not "shoot" as much as it is their skulls fill with blood from major brain hemorrhaging and effectively drown in it, and since that blood really has no where to go but out, it takes the quickest path right out the nose. Could someone have thought of a more gruesome way to kill off rabbit populations?
- mecharabbit, on 07/18/2008, -2/+10Flying whale guts? That would scar me mentally for the rest of my life.
- NikkiA, on 07/18/2008, -0/+8Living in britain, I had noticed that the pidgeon population HAS seriously declined over the last couple of decades, but somehow I never thought to ask myself 'why?'. (Heck, I remember being 'assaulted' by 3 pidgeons about 16 years ago while trying to eat in the centre of a town)
The article as such was interesting to me, because now I know. - ghank, on 07/18/2008, -0/+8Rising to the challenge, Australian rabbit control teams released Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, which can make the rabbits convulse, shoot blood out of their noses and die. This is the point when the rest of the world stood in awkward silence and said, "Dude ... we knew you were serious about the rabbit thing but ... dude."
seriously? shoot blood out of their noses and die? - Kanuhduh, on 07/18/2008, -0/+8I don't think I'll be able to shake the mental image of a convulsing rabbit shooting blood out of it's nose and dying for a while..
- Zarokima, on 07/18/2008, -0/+7A much easier solution would be to hand out poisoned birdseed to all those old ladies who like to sit in parks and feed them. The poisoned carcasses can then be used to feed whatever homeless bums happen upon them, and then you've solved two problems with a few sacks of birdseed.
Yeah, I'm a heartless bastard, but it does solve the problems. - megamod, on 07/18/2008, -0/+7you mean this in particular: "but when you're faced with a few hundred million of the things, you probably need them to line up in front of you about 1,000 deep with every shot to make a difference. Records indicate few if any rabbits actually did this."
Yeah it took me a while to notice that he was being sarcastic. I guess that's what happens when you're use to seeing the following line on digg which other people don't use:
"/sarcasm" - MrSketch, on 07/18/2008, -0/+7Here's a video of the explosion:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Xh9n2-Sp0 - xerexes1, on 07/18/2008, -0/+7I think you did that incorrectly.
- MtheoryX, on 07/18/2008, -0/+6Did you get the whale's information? Is he/she insured?
- VacantThoughts, on 07/18/2008, -1/+7Excess information =/= Interesting
- altinnovation, on 07/18/2008, -1/+6Dude, a Pigeon....Condo?
- budgeysmuggler, on 07/18/2008, -0/+5Was that a photo of a monkey give head to another monkey!
DUGG
http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/dan/beast ... - Chalks777, on 07/19/2008, -0/+4Who is this Dan fellow, and why does he have a directory labeled "beastmasters"? Surely I'm not the only one who finds that... odd.
- ChrisshEnzo, on 07/19/2008, -0/+4That article did not do the monkey problem we have in Kenya justice. These things travel in packs and are fearless. They constantly raid hotels and steal shiny objects aka jewelry. On the islands and in the towns tourist must be warned to be weary with their expensive possessions.
- leerayIG88, on 07/18/2008, -3/+7I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought "nah.. forget it, yo home to Bel-Air" - Joomal, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4".. they're known to roam neighborhoods in gangs. They break into houses to steal food, or just hang out and pleasure themselves."
I don't think we need to fly to India to see this. - appleofdischord, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4In Soviet Russia, dog train YOU!
- Galaxylander, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4UR DOIN IT WRONG
- WalkerTXclocker, on 07/19/2008, -0/+3I'm sorry sir, but your policy doesn't include the "rotting whale flesh from the sky damage."
- Zarokima, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3Watership Down
- molochi, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3Atlanta used to have a pigeon problem, but after they started encouraging the urban hawk and peregrine population most of the flying rats headed for the countryside and stopped congregating in mobs.
- MtheoryX, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3You're doing it wrong.
- minorthreat, on 07/18/2008, -2/+4I was thinking of something a little more ridiculous like spending billions of dollars trying to maintain a city built below sea on the coast.. you know something like New Orleans. Whether its in our lifetime or not, you can't deny mother nature will eventually have her way.
- cesclaveria, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2I feel that since they ran out of typical geek topics (like most badass superhero, or best FPS, etc) they started to be more creative.
- Firespray1138, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2How did I know they were going to have the exploding whale on there? That video is ***** epic.
- Analysis489, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Dugg for monkey w/ gun.
- monoa, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Dugg for witty commentary.
- Joest23, on 07/18/2008, -1/+3Yeah, because ***** YOU, nature.
- Blandyman, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1Shut up, whore.
- blast_flame, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1By then of course we'll be super intelligent cyborgs so no problem...
- Blandyman, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1That's what a colon ( : ) is for.
- jizzlies, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1If the uncontrollable need to take a bowel movement qualifies as 'mother nature' then this blog is the most rediculous attempt to take it on:

Who thinks of this crap? (no pun intended) - Blandyman, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1O RLY?

- theguesser10, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1You think Boston is bad? Try Paris!
- CleverDan33, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the word Moscowvites.
