...than our VP Cheney!
I swear... I was coming up my street, saw this dove in the middle of the road. Stoopid bird didn't see me until... see my bird's eye view.
Ravens are much smarter!

I picked up a squirl... with my mountain bike! It ran right in front of me, sort of hit the front wheel. By the time I stopped and looked back, I didn't see it, and I didn't crash.

engine room once on my previous car. an opposum cleaned it out for me. hehe.

I was on one of the country roads out here in a 55 mph zone, and i didn't even SEE a bird until it was too late...

It flew RIGHT into my windsheild, slid up it, then flew in the air and landed just before it hit the car behind me. The guy behind me was busting out laughing, i was just in total shock.

Dead fox...

Saw this at Audi dealer a few years back. I was dropping off my TT and noticed another one with some minor damage to lower grill... you would think the owner would at least take out the poor dead fox rather than just leave it there.

I ran over a cute little bunny last year, it was pitch black at 5am, the bunny saw my headlight and ran out onto the road, then figured its a bad idea and tried to run back. I had no time to react (and wasn't going to do anything drastic for a bunny even if I had time to) and crushed the bunny with my rear right wheel.
