deet...deet...deet-deet-deet...FJORDNEWS...deet-deet...

This quick news-like update, is just in!

Turkish shepherds watched in horror as hundreds of their sheep followed each other over a cliff

Ooooh! The little lemmings! Say what you will about the benefits of a herd-based society, but I'll take individual action over...wait a minute, there's more coming in!

More than 400 sheep died in the 15-metre fall - their bodies cushioning the fall of 1,100 others who followed.


So, 11-hundred sheep feel off a roughly 50-foot cliff, and 700 survived! Note to self, cushion 50-foot falls with a few hundred sheep. (in hindsight, the answer seems so obvious)
Well, have a great Sunday.
