The owl killed the first lemming, then the rest just followed it into the nest.

[dday9]

What is a lemming? In the picture they look like rabbits.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I could come up with a serious answer to that, since there actually is an animal called the lemming, but their reputation is pure fiction, and that's how they are known in pop culture.

[dday9]

Ahh, I get that joke now.

[dday9]

They jump off of cliffs or something.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah. They were the first to get into BASE jumping back in the days before parachutes. It wasn't nearly as popular back then. A few people tried it, but it left most of them feeling rather flat, so very few people ever went back for a second try, not even the lemmings. Still, they were at least among the first, and the first to turn it into a group or societal sport.

A little known historical fact is that the first person to try it with a parachute was derided by the lemmings as a sissy. They laughed at him for his slow speed as they plummeted past him, but when they saw his soft landing, they bit their tongues...which was hard to do, since they had already bitten their tongues right off when they landed. So, first they had to find them again before they could bite them over his landing.

@szlamany,

Your reserved SQL keywords is not a valid link.

[dday9]

Well, it is.

[dday9]

But it leads to the VB6 codebank link.

[szlamany]

I've not touched that stuff in 5 years - maybe longer...

Had a very good talk with a major insurance company about using my database design for data discovery - fingers crossed they give us a use case.

They use things like Watson now.

[dday9]

Well hey, you know somebody in the insurance industry.

[dday9]

I'm at the lowest level, but you never know

[szlamany]

Nice to see you got my back!

[dday9]

I was unfortunately at the LSU v. McNeese game

[Shaggy Hiker]

Never heard of McNeese. Is LSU playing high school teams now?

[dday9]

Funny you say that, we call McNeese "Ryan St. High" because it's off of Ryan St. and not the smartest place.
