I have a robin that is dive-bombing me whenever I go into the front yard - makes your death from bird-related idiocy seem a little bit more imminent. ---

> [@Bootis](#): > > Invite a stranger into your house and kill him so you can get on with your life stress free. I had a brief thought about Jehovah’s Witnesses…but no, that would be wrong.
