Attack of the 16 foot cactus plant (no, really!)

[Annie-Xmas]

Story here

A 16-foot saguaro from a nearby property struck and then pinned William Mason while he was working, resulting in multiple injuries, particularly to his back and legs.

News stories like this one put me on pins and needles.

That's going to sting.

I get your point.

There isn't much of a root system holding up a saguaro. A little too much water, and it can fall right over.

I think it's part of the SDMB registration agreement that you need to make a cactus pun since a precedent has already been set. You want to follow the rules don't you?

Posters that don't follow the rules have been a thorn in my side for ages.

[campp]

Stick it.

Be nice, we can't all have a barbed wit.

Authorities are now looking for a coyote and some sort of bird in conjunction with this incident.

Oooo. He was in a sticky situation.

Wow, I never heard of the Intensive Cactus Unit. Must be an Arizona thing.
