Bird Watching “This from Bizarre News; It seems a bird-lover in West Yorkshire, England, had come up with what he thought was an innovative way to watch his little feathered friends...the bird-feeder helmet. Basically, it's a pith helmet with a feeding tray full of nuts and seeds screwed on top. The idea being to lure birds in for closer observation. It's inventor, Mike Madden, had just taken it out for it's maiden voyage when a large gray squirrel spied the nuts, and attacked his head. From the impact Mr. Madden guessed the arboreal rodent must have jumped from the top of a tree, because he was knocked clean to the ground. He has been taking painkillers and wearing a neck-brace for a week since the accident, and has no further plans to re-test his invention. This is an important lesson for all you bird-watchers out there! Now that's funny. hee hee” 12:21:23 AM 12/03/01 “Maybe he needs to make a squirrel watching helmet.” 5:45:39 AM 12/03/01 “I think he needs a hans device.” 9:38:40 AM 12/03/01 “That was a squirrely idea. yeah, yeah, I know, but someone had to say it.” 9:40:45 AM 12/03/01 “Never go into the woods if you can't protect your nuts from flying squirrels.” 10:02:44 AM 12/03/01 “Death from above!” 10:52:42 AM 12/03/01 “How 'bout a bear watching jock strap?” 10:57:05 AM 12/03/01
