Navy Sea Lions

Obviously, for these guys balancing balls wasn't enough.

With the military build-up in the Persian Gulf showing no sign of abating the US Navy has unveiled its secret weapon - a crack troupe of sea lions.

These whiskered warriors are even capable of clamping a floating marker to the legs of an intruder, alerting troops to his position, who can then move in and haul the attacker out of the water. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2839155.stm)

Amazing...

I'm sensing a TV series here. Sea lions can even pursue a suspect onto dry land - alerting all in the vicinity with their loud honks. I see Jeff Goldblum as the crime-fighting sea lion's sidekick and handler...

Sea Lions....HA!

What about the crack KFC???

That's the Kuwait Field Chickens, they are on the front lines and go right into battle with the troops. They have to stay where they can be seen at all times.

Their job, in case of chemical attack to flop around and have muscle spasms!!! Seems our high tech detection devices have too many false positives.

KFC! Don't ruffle our feathers!!!

I remember reading that almost all of the chickens had already died.

The best part about the chickens is;

It actually takes a larger dose of nerve gas to kill them than people.

Their feathers provide a pretty good level of protection.

And best of all, chickens tend to die pretty easily when hot and stressed.

So, how do you tell if the chickens death is by CW or natural.

An autopsy obviously. Sheesh!

[kittynh]

Yes, but a finger licking original autopsy, or the extra crispy autopsy?

I don't mind, as long as I get a lemony, zesty wipe. :D
