I've never heard of it. Should I watch?

But like a year or two ago some people were saying stuff to me like "That's bird law!!!" over and over and i was like what in the world are you talking about. But now my roommate seems to watch Always Sunny in Philadelphia on loop and now I know what that is.

It's a Netflix documentary on a murder trial where a husband allegedly murdered his wife, and there's a theory that the woman was actually attacked by an owl due to the type of lacerations she sustained and some micro feathers found on her or something. I don't believe it's actually addressed in the doc though.

Yeah i edited my post to ask if it was something like that. I haven't seen the documentary but people were saying on the walk that it's been proven in some cases that owls have killed people. I used to randomly ask it on walks I lead as kind of a funny question. But apparently it has happened but I haven't looked up the actual cases myself. Great Horneds are seriously fierce birds and if one wanted to it could absolutely kill a person without much trouble.

Do they somehow get the jugular/carotid or is this like, people don’t want to hurt the owl and can’t manage to break its wings the instant it attacks? I just can’t imagine a few face lacerations causing someone to bleed out.

They couldn't kill tjem in prehistory since humans didn't show up until like 900 ad. But yeah the Maori stories are that the haast? Eagle would go after kids once the moa got eradicated and the eagles had nothing else to eat

Also the kea parrots apparently drink blood from living sheep when they aren't busy destroying cars

Nz having zero non flightless mammals (they had some bats) is so cool . Also the ships log for Captain Cook is hilarious when they landed, because the cat jumped off the ship and just started rampaging through flightless birds

Yeah, prehistory was a bad choice of words, my mistake.

It's weird, it seems like flightless birds, with the ratites being an obvious exception, really have problems competing with mammals on the ground.

No you were right, by definition “prehistory” refers to the period before written history in a given area so that period of time was “prehistoric” in NZ as the populations there at the time did not have a writing system

Also yeah makes you think: were dinosaurs also pathetic loser animals that would get their poo poo kicked in by tigers or w/e

I doubt it, since the archosaurs had unheard-of domination on land. Like drat near every animal more than a meter long was a dinosaur, or at least an archosaur. Mammals and close kin could grow a bit bigger than the rodent-sized stereotypes would suggest, but still pretty small in comparison.

Real talk though, am I having a stroke or did Al Riveron not say during the off-season, in essence, "Stop blowing the loving whistle in live ball situations and go back and look at it after the play is over"? I could have sworn that was one of the things in their referee referendum this year but I could be wrong

Oh yeah now I remember. They said "throw the flag first, then huddle together and see if you can wring a penalty out somewhere, if not try again on the next play"

You're not wrong. They're supposed to swallow the whistle on those situations. Browns fans celebrated because we got dicked a couple times by plays being blown dead then reversed last season.

If he did, the refs clearly didn't listen. I know the Saints and Bucs got hosed by the same thing this season (against the Rams and Titans respectively), plus probably a couple other teams I'm forgetting.

It was the Bucs and it happened in two separate games. But it's the Bucs so you know, who cares.

But that's good perspective on who the 49ers are this season: As good as they ever have been.

I'm still randomly giggling over Sunday in New Orleans, so I'm not actually offering actual analysis.

I mean, if Young to Owens vs Green Bay was The Catch II, then what was this game? The Game ?

He was torching the Titans all night but then towards the end of the game they just stopped using him and I always thought that was really dumb.
