We joke and say that it crashed through the wall of the house since the deer are every where around here.

The commercial is designed as negative psychology. By villifying the squirrels as devious, you get mad at them so you WILL hit them next time! It’s a brilliant ploy.
hey is that what is called an atypical ??

Yep.
“And it’s wrong to cover it up, even after all these years.”
There is no cover up. Ever go to a LIBRARY?
“It wasn’t me who brought this up, I was simply responding to a falsehood.”
Actually you’re supporting the falsehood. The falsehood was that the Catholic Church hindered the search for truth in the ‘Dark Ages’. And to accidently demonstrate that that is a falsehood you brought up Galileo as if he lived in the Dark Ages.
I am still waiting for The Geico caveman to eat The Geico lizard . . .
yes...
But worth a lot a money to Cabela or Bass Pro so they can put it one of their stores on display.
“Always hit the animal and never swerve”
This is particularily funny to me. Last weekend my husband and I experienced a flight into an airport where I must say the landing was less than stellar. The pilot came in extra hot, slammed on the brakes while the wings were still rolling, and the plane seemed to skid quite a bit sideways, all while books, etc. flew through the cabin. Needless to say we passengers were flabberghasted. While we were waiting for our luggage, we overheard another passenger that had been on our flight, talking on his cellphone and was recounting the landing in his conversation. He then said on the phone, “Boy I was praying and said to myself, hit the squirrel captain, just hit the @#$%&*@ squirrel!

“I bet if given the chance, would you even try me and break me on the wheel.”
The wheel was used for punishment or just outright torture. Limbs would be broken, blood spilled, etc. Thus it was high unlikely that any inquisitor ever used the wheel on anyone. Inquisitions were not allowed to spill blood, break bones, maim, debilitate or kill anyone they examined.
non-typical has antlers that grow in different directions.
and "a" typical has symmetrical antlers
This one is a typical
Did you actually sit down and watch any of the episodes?
With a nice chianti and fava beans?
Is that a manchester or a minpin? I have a minpin, she is such a cutie!
Yeah, that "Darks Ages" mistake invalidates my whole argument about the Churchs behavior towards Galileo doesn't it?
Very beautiful—looks like Bambi’s Dad. :D
One time I fed my dad some delicious venison soup, he thought it was beef. He asked where the butcher shop was, where we got it (lots of Amish around here, one or two do meat processing).
I said, “The back yard, Dad, it’s the doe we got last fall.”
He was so surprised, he honestly had no idea.
lol...
I had to go look it up... (typical or atypical)
Bucks either have a typical or atypical antler arrangement. Typical antlers are symmetrical on both sides and the points grow straight up off the main beam. Atypical antlers are asymmetrical and the points are going in any direction off the main beam. These descriptions are not the only limitations for typical and atypical antler arrangement. The Boone and Crockett Club or Pope & Young scoring systems also dictate what constitutes a typical or atypical antler arrangement on a harvested or non-harvested buck by measuring how many inches of antler are non-symmetrical. Therefore, bucks with slightly asymmetrical arrangements are commonly referred to as typical. A buck’s inside spread can be any where from 3-25 inches (8-64 cm). Bucks shed their antlers when all females have been bred, from late December to February.

With a little RESEARCH, you will learn that the church told Galileo that “we know you’re right, but the public would freak out if this was released at this time”. The church was only trying to prevent widespread shock and violence. Don’t forget that the church was in the process of removing itself from total power, and trying to adapt to a new concept of free will.
Seriously, do you think you would have even heard of Galileo if the church was seriously threatened by his observations ?
Sort of like the existence of the SR-71 in 1965, to give an example easily understood, but not NEAR the significance.
"high(ly) unlikely that any inquisitor ever used the wheel on anyone. Inquisitions were not allowed to spill blood, break bones, maim, debilitate or kill anyone they examined."
Obviously, being a Catholic, you've never read Foxe's Book of Martyrs, correct? I have, and he recounts instance after instance where inquisitors did just that. In fact, they even gave out indulgences to commit sins for 40 days to anyone who would supply a faggot for the fire to martyr heretics (Protestants) at the stake.
