  • When pelicans attack.

    Sucks for her but a Florida woman had to get 20 stitches on her face after a pelican crashed into her face.

    Pelican 'bombs' bather in Florida

    A woman required 20 stitches to her face after a pelican crashed into her in the sea off Florida, apparently diving for fish.

    The bird, which died in Thursday's collision, ripped a gash in Debbie Shoemaker's face as she bathed near the city of St Petersburg.

    The city fire chief said he had never heard of a diving pelican hit a person.

    Pelicans grow to up to 30lb (13kg) and can dive from heights of 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 metres).

    Ms Shoemaker, 50, returned home on Friday, the Associated Press reports.

          Here's to the pelican,
          Whose beak can hold more than his belly can.

            So when does the War on Pelicans start?
            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                  Shamu didn't like a pelican who landed in his tank so he kills and eats half of the pelican.

                    ACK!
                    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                        The next thing you have to look out for is the carnivore cows.

                            WTF?
                            Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                            The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                            The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
