Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

Here's an aardvark vase that we picked up last week at an auction.

The Official Vase of the Undead Thread^TM -- at least for this month.

They found him after he’d been brutally tended to death by fifty malfunctioning Agro-bots.
His corpse had been thoroughly weeded, fertilized, pruned, fungicided, insecticided, mulched, and watered.
Closer inspection revealed that the Agro-bots were still waiting for more work.
The forensics team suddenly realized they were not alone.

Unfortunate things happen when ‘driods are not trained to discern between “asleep” and “dead”

[Darksheare]

At least they didn’t sing while they tended to their instrations.

It just gets better and better!

[Darksheare]

“Sir, did you just say ‘beep’?”

“No, why?”

I can just see them looking over their shoulders to find the fifty malfunctioning agro-bots sitting there.

Just saw the first Chipmunk of the season! Snow is rotting still have 3ft or more.

[stephenjohnbanker]

well, they ARE sitting there.

[Tax-chick]

Cool.

[Tax-chick]

The snow is rotting? I don’t want to live there ...

My ornamental corn is up, but I’m afraid the catz have dug up all the pole bean seeds. I have more.

It was in a box lot that someone else had bought and the new owner didn't know what to think of it, so my wife offered her $15.00.

It now sits on a shelf by the front door to greet peeople.

"It now sits on a shelf by the front door to greet peeople."

Somehow it seems appropriate that a vacuum cleaner should be shaped like an aardvark.

It has that organic, ergonomic thing going for it.

[ColdOne]

The snow is rotting? yes it gets warm during the day and when you walk on it you fall through. We call it "rotting"

[Tax-chick]

I remember that from Rhode Island, but I didn’t know there was a special word for it.

[ColdOne]

It is what the locals call it. So it just may be a local thing!
