Random Thought

I've decided to initiate a new weekly post into my blog.  This is the first one and I hope to continue them once a week. (The Aliens post was kind of the first one but this is more official sounding)

All throughout my life I have had these random thoughts that seem to be completely weird to those around me. Considering I live in the bible belt and love sci-fi, rock music and science, I am what you would call the black sheep. My family just smiles and nods at me like one would do to a crazy person.

So here goes, first random thought post:

Animals vs The Highway:
Why is it that when a squirrel sees an on coming vehicle it decides to sprint as fast as it can across the road, right in front of you? Do you think some other guy squirrel is sitting on the side of the road daring the other one to cross?
I can just hear them now...

First Squirrel: I bet you can't get across before that car gets here.

Second Squirrel: The hell I can't!

The first squirrel takes a deep breath and sprints across, screaming the whole time only to be squished by the front tires.

Second Squirrel: Oh well, where's that other guy. I bet he'll fall for it too. Less competition for the ladies.
