Not really, but I almost hit a flock of geese awhile back. Then I saw these pictures of a goose strike and got me to thinking...

It is a chilling scenario played out all too often in this age of bleeding-heart nature-loving conservationists pandering to the vicious hordes of savage and increasingly politically savvy geese. Great packs of these monsters can swoop out of the sky and literally tear the skin right off an airplane with their chisel-like beaks. You can almost hear the screams of the last crew member alive as the slivers of flesh were peeled from his bones. <shudder>

I had a pet goose when I was younger. He kicked ***. Super friendly to people he knew and mean as hell to strangers.
