no, i climbed way down out onto a ledge, so that when i gave him a good chuck he'd hit the water. thankfully, he did, he landed about 20 feet into the water (the beachhead there is about 10 feet of rocks). thank god i have good shoulders...

it's morbid and all, but i must say... dead birds still get pretty good lift :cool: It was weird, like throwing a paper airplane... he went straight out for a little distance, then he actually went up for a second and then went down, probably all due to the wind. i have to say though i felt like kind of a jerk for just tossing him. oh well. he was dead. sure beats a trash can.

what do you wanna bet that within a few days it'll be all over the news that creatures in the ocean around the LA area were all getting the bird flu..
