Giant Raptor Terrorizes Alaskan Village

Posted by michael on from the tasty-tasty-children dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A giant raptor, rumored to have a wingspan of 14 feet, has been spotted by a number of Alaskans in the general vicinity of Manokotak. There is speculation that the beast could be a Steller's sea eagle, but Phil Schempf, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, is dubious: He says that no creature that large has flown in more than 100,000 years. Read about it in this Anchorage Daily News article, which notes that residents have been warned to keep their children indoors."

    And we wonder why species are going extinct so fast.

    I know it's just a joke, but that's the problem, people find this funny.

    You totally miss my point, I thought there might be maybe ONE person out there whom might like to actually THINK for a moment about something.
    No, I know you're not the one.
