If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti
They might be useless against Nazis or terrorists, but the French really know how to take on waterfowl.
A satellite-tagged white stork whose progress was monitored by scientists for over 2,000 days was killed after it was electrocuted by power lines in France, a conservation group said on Wednesday.
BirdLife International said the stork, named Donna, had been tracked by satellite longer than any other bird on record and her death highlighted the dangers power lines pose to the elegant birds.
Well, at least we know why France’s birth rate is so low.
