    that was awesome!

    there's a story of a crow stealing coins from a car wash & hiding the hundreds of dollars in tokens & coins on the roof of the car wash. a crow will watch traffic run around streets below, the crow will drop nuts on the street, car tires run over the nuts breaking them open, in sweeps the crow for a snack
    for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

    "Hear me, my chiefs!
    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

  • I believe I've heard somewhere
    that crows are among
    the smartest animals on the planet-
    right up there with dolphins + mice.

    I've seen crows waiting on power lines
    over the highway waiting for a suitable gap
    between the cars to swoop down
    + grab abandoned fries from a discarded
    Happy Meal.

    Then again,
    they've never volunteered to help
    me out with a sudoku puzzle either!

    Cheers.

    Adam Carolla often ponders on why Attack Crows don't exist.
