Actually, this isn’t unlike the usage of the I-94 south bound out of Chicago during construction season.

They know its jammed in front of them.

They still turn down the ramps.

Once down there, they can’t get back out.

Everyone is drowning in 5 mile per hour traffic.

Another great commute in the big City.

I’ve seen wildebeest in the wild.In the short time I was exposed to them they didn’t strike me as being particularly smart.

I liked them better when they used to be called "gnus". Here's a photo of an "old gnu". I know what you're thinking...this is old news/gnus.

That being said, I guess we could reconstruct the old saying to read:

"No gnus is bad news"

* You gotta' say it out loud for it to make sense.

New bumper sticker........."ELECT THE HILDEBEAST AND SAVE THE WILDEBEEST"

Yep, that'll nail down her getting the PETA vote, for sure.

"I would imagine that such a significant decrease in population would have an effect," she said, "but what that effect would be and to what extent, I cannot say."

Smarter wildebeests?

Interesting. I had the same sensation three summers ago when I downtown and discovered the Democrat state convention was being held there.

In looking at the pic, I am sure I see “I am a gnu, not a Hsu” stickers on them.

a bizarre mishap that conservationists describe as "heartbreaking," an estimated 10,000 wildebeest have drowned while attempting to cross Kenya's Mara River during an annual migration..."The wildebeest merely chose a crossing point that was too steep."

Evolution is heartless and merciless. Evolution punishes mistakes without an ounce of pity. If the entire wildebeest population had died this way, then that's life in the big evolutionary city. Either you believe in natural selection or you don't. If you do, then there's no such thing as "heartbreaking."

There's no crying in evolution.
