I might swerve my car to miss a grown duck, but only because it would damage the air dam. For baby ducks, they don't have a chance. In my truck, the big duck gets it too. The rider should have been able to stop or go around. If he was following too closely, it was his fault. If he couldn't stop or go around, he was following too closely or had lost situational awareness. -- Futility Man

If Wonder Woman parks her invisible plane on the > highway, that would be a no-no. I always, er, wondered: how the heck does she figure out where she parked it? And I vote 99% biker's fault. There's no real excuse for hitting a stopped car. You're supposed to be scanning far enough ahead to stop well before you hit a static object, and this goes for *any* object large enough to see.

He works as a safety guy for one of the major oil companies. He told us a story about how they use remote control boats to keep the geese and other birds from landing in their settling ponds. Well one mother goose, trying to protect he goslings(?) from the boat, attacked it and sank the damn thing. So don't underestimate determined water fowl. ;-) I don't know how big those boats are but I thought this was hilarious and suggested we should draft the mother goose into the Canadian Navy. She might be one of our more effective weapons.
