I don't know. Probably will have some scars on his/her head, I reckon. Do think the kiddo got away pretty pretty lucky there. Could have been way worse.

Considering the open fontanels on a kid that age, he could have easily been killed by a talon puncturing his brain.  The talons on an eagle that size are several inches long and sharp as a razor. :(

Terrifying.

Jeeh. Feel sorry I linked it then.

Convincingly well done (the clip), I must add also.

Barely. I think I still have one limb left. And half a brain.

A guy is flying in a hot air balloon, and he's lost. He lowers himself over a field and calls to a guy "Can you tell me where I am and where I'm headed?"

"Sure. You're at 41 degrees 2 minutes and 14 seconds North, 24 degrees 4 minutes and 19 seconds East; you're at an altitude of 762 meters above sea level, and right now you're hovering, but you were on a vector of 234 degrees at 12 meters per second."

"Amazing! Thanks! By the way, do you have Asperger's Syndrome?"

"I do! How did you know that?"

"Because everything you said is true, it's much more detail than I need, and you told me in a way that's no use to me at all."

"Huh. Are you a clinical psychologist?"

"I am, but how the heck did you know that???!!??"

"You don't know where you are. You don't know where you're going. You got where you are by blowing hot air. You put labels on people after asking a few questions, and you're in exactly the same spot you were 5 minutes ago, but now, somehow, it's my fault!"

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Meanwhile in Paris.. folks (>10,000) are protesting against gay-marriage and, more particularly, against the right of gay peops to adopt and/or raise kids of their own. Demonstration is initiated by right wing, muslim and catholic parties and they're against the upcoming law which make that possible.

Um, nuking that group of demonstrators would be a step forwards for humanity. Not?

Okay, not..

I'm listening to the PR having a phone conversation with a friend from her special school.  They're 23 +/-.  They've gone through celebrity crushes and news, old classsmates and now they're discussing the benefits of adding adult laxative bulk to their diets.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
