Default What Do You Do?

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!

He was at one time, Honest, but now he's just a spot on the

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.
