"CROW STUDY"
They found about 200 dead crows near Branson, Mo and there was concern
that they may have died from Avian Flu.
They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, & he
confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief.
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact
with trucks, & only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
Missouri then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine the reasons
for the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kill.
The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause in short order.
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in a nearby
tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that all the lookout crows could say "Cah", but none
could say "Truck."

Hahahaha I like this one, especially since I am one to also say "CAH" when a crow flys by... B-)
