January 15, 2008: Hunting Deer in Germany [Graphic]

xoxoxoBruce · 01-14-2008, 09:43 PM

I've seen sites claiming;
1-140 lb deer at 140 mph.
2-100 lb deer at 140 mph.
3-140 lb deer at 120 mph.
4- Bambi at 140 mph.
5- Bambi at 120 mph.

I'm betting Bambi at 140 mph because it went in the grille and knocked the motor off it's mounts, instead of over the hood through the windshield.
Besides, how in hell would they know what it weighed? Some of it had to have gone out the bottom.... especially the fluids.

Incredible. Amazing the way it went neatly through the grill opening. Poor little critter, but at least it would have been quick.

I'd like to put on an "I don't know anything about cars" look, call a roadside mechanic, tell him, "I was just driving along and suddenly it stopped working" ... and get a photo of his expression when he pops the bonnet (hood).

"Sir, I think I've found the problem."

I'd like to play the Joker and call photoshop.

(maybe only middle-aged Brit dwellars will get that.....)

I resemble that remark!
I keep telling HM to stop calling himself middle aged as I am only 10 months younger than him and nowhere near it yet.

But Bruce's cartoon made me snort involuntarily - a bad thing in the library.

Roe deer (the kind they have in Germany) max out at ~70lbs. So, any of the claims of 100-140lbs are probably either hopeless exaggeration, or North Americans substituting the wrong kind of deer in their made-up-to-go-with-the-pictures story.

Dog-sized, yes, but, um, not really enough physical evidence to go on. No cute widdle feetsies or headsies in evidence.

So, I'd wager 50lb deer, at ~100mph. Just mussed up the plastic cosmetic engine cover somewhat. But, well, no way to tell?

Bleargh.

Good point. The Germans would never lie to us about anything. Had to be Americans.

Are we pretty sure that isn't either a shark or a dolphin?
