Killing Rats with GPS

Posted by michael on from the pied-piper dept.

techmaven writes "When Channel Islands National Park officials needed an estimated about 300 rats exterminated on the east side of environmentally sensitive Anacapa Island, Aspen Ag Helicopters got the call. The kill was necessary because the rodents, descendants of rats that reached the island by way of a shipwreck a century or more ago, were decimating the populations of two rare seabirds. And GPS helped the helicopter company do the job."

    And just exactly how can these wankers be certain those rats came from that ship? Maybe they should stick to more conventional hoaxes, like the lynx hair thing.

  2. Is Mariah Carey a Negro? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    I was watching a Mariah Carey music video on television when I got an erection. I enjoyed the pleasant sensation of my hard penis when I realized that Mariah Carey may be a negro.

    As we all know, negroes are the unclean because they are descended for the sons of ham (see the book of genesis in the bible.). If Mariah Carey is a negro, I will have to punish myself for becoming aroused by her since she is an unclean racial type. Can someone please answer my question.
