Vultures are really smart

Dear Reader,

As you can see in this link vultures have taken up residence in a retirement community in Texas. This is awesome. It is an ingenious way for the vultures to get to their food early. Early vulture gets the corpse, I always say. Really I say it all the time. Its about time it was relevant.

The best part about the above video is that homegirl is confused about why they are there in the first place. They are there to feed! They can smell death. Or at least they can clearly smell imminent death. Evolution is a nifty thing!

I also really enjoy their solution. Air horns. Now a future conversation can go like this:
"THIS IS SO MUCH NICER THAN WHEN THE VULTURES WERE HERE!"
"WHAT?!"
"THE VULTURES! IT'S SO MUCH NICER NOW THAT THEY'RE GONE!"
"YOUR EARS ARE BLEEDING!"
"WHAT?!"

A better solution would be to have more younger folks move in. The smell of youthful vitality will be distasteful to the vultures. Plus it will be a bit quieter than the air horns, if you can ignore the loud hip hop blaring from the boom boxes that the kids are so fond of these days.

Enjoy your youth,
Scott

  2. Do you think the vultures will move to Florida next? Maybe to the Villages, America's friendliest hometown?
