On the way back from Breckenridge last Friday (went skiing again, 17 runs, w00t) I started watching road signs. And a fundamental question occurred to me, most vital to further life as we know it:

Why is it that the deer from the deer warning sign get to be inherently in motion, but the elk and mountain sheep are standing still? For some reason,

Re road signs and license plates: You need help. Serious help. Unfortunately, I am in no position to give it to you

Yay Guillotine! We shall have to play some time soon.

For D&D, Wednesday still works best for me. I could maybe pull Tuesday or Thursday, but Wednesday I'd actually have some free time.

hmmm, perhaps it's because most likely than not when you encounter a deer it's leaping into the road and therefore causing a roadblock whereas elk are more likely to just be standing there? That's at least the trend I noticed on my long road trips anyway.

on the topic of road signs, apparently Mint from the game Animal Crossing: City Folk says I was born under the sign of Yield. hmmm. :P BTW if you ever manage to get a Wii and that game you HAVE to let me know!!!

*strokes non-existent beard contemplatively* Yes, yes... that seems quite logical! I've never actually seen an elk in the road, but I much like this explanation! It is now the offical one.

...I need a Wii. I'll have to scout around my friends and see if any of them have Animal Crossing. I've heard so many good things about it!
