Geese are dangerous
A US Airways flight crashed into the Hudson River today, after hitting a flock of geese. It appears all passengers are safe and unharmed. They surmise the geese got caught in the two engines, causing them to fail. I just heard a reporter equate the incident as "being similar to when you stuff too much into your garbage disposal and it stops working". Yuck! We're talking chopped up bird parts falling from the sky! This is more disgusting than the Palin turkey butchering video.

I am surprised that you seem to have just now learned that geese are dangerous. We used to live by a marsh and you used to live on a farm. We used to have thousands of geese plotting our demise right across the street from our house and you told me stories of rabid geese attacks. How could geese not be dangerous??
True. Canadian geese are particularly nasty -- hissing, chasing you, biting you the butt. (true experiences for those doubters reading this.) I just never realized how dangerous they were to airplanes!
