You know, I'm aware of the hazard that birds can present to jet engines, but it's never been clear to me why that hazard can't be somehow eliminated by perhaps some sort of screen or something. I'm sure that there must be some problem with the obvious solutions, but I've heard what it is.

And birds are not evil, Cathryn. They're not particularly topheavy in the intellect department, but they're not evil. LOL.
