Alt.astronomy is dead -- LONG LIVE ALT.ASTRONOMY
----------------------------------------------- Under a very dark sky, filled with an overwhelming number of little dots of light, a leopard lounges while watching a huge tree. The big cat patiently takes time to clean itself. Perched upwind on a shallow, overhanging crag, leopard licks its sharp fangs to think of tasty dinner to follow. The baobab tree is filled with a troop of baboons, who use the tree as their nightly resting place. No rest for the monkeys this night, however, because they all smell the leopard, and they all know that death awaits... somebody. Noisy little baobab tree! Just days before, a new leader was "elected" named Tonk. His second he chose was Piper, and third on the pole became the old leader, truly old Kince. Kince had stepped down because Tonk had taken him in a fair fight. So amongst all the noise of fearful babboonery, Tonk looked to Kince for counsel. The solution was clear, and the only solution. The death cat must be killed. So the overwhelming sky spys two dark figures, Tonk and Piper, silently working their way unseen, up the crag toward unseeing death. Their attack is quick! and brutal. Piper had worked her way up the low angle behind the leopard. Tonk had very carefully crept up the steep part just below the cat's head. When Piper is certain Tonk is in position, she leaps to the leopard's spotted back and digs in her canines. Immediately, the cat whirls around to grab Piper by the head and crunch her skull. In an instant, Tonk is at the leopard's neck and severing her jugular vein. A blink of an eye! and the cat comes back around and *up* with her hind feet and claws to painly disembowel the baboon king. But she is too late, for Tonk's bite had been right on the mark. The three shadowy figures sprawl dead or dying on the crag. And a noisy baobab tree once again sleeps in peace. Would you die for what you believe in? would you kill for it? ----------------------------------------------- happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine http://www.savethechildren.org/ http://www.painellsworth.net |

Baboons are very powerful animals, but unless they have .357s or
larger, I'd leave that pussy alone! Very hard to sneak up on a cat anyway. That's what's wrong with the scene in Jurassic Park when the two velociraptors attack the T. rex! Never happened! Especially when you find out that the velociraptors were only three feet high. About as annoying as a mosquito to an elephant.
