I just read "Video shows eagle snatch...." and assumed it wasn't SFW.

Nothing like blurry shakey video to prove something is true. If you look carefully, you can clearly see Big Foot chatting to Lord Lucan behind one of the trees.

What do you reckon the biggest it could manage is? Trying to work out if it's worth taking the kids to the park.

I send mine out to play on the bypass. But they keep returning.

Its true I tell you. He had a friend that retired and is resitting his maths O level to try to get a pass this time.

Have read about this guy. Is he the one with the house in some slum area of London, who drives a girl hairdressers sportscar ?

There was a show on BBC last night called snow babies and there was an eagle that picked up a baby reindeer and carried it off, the eagle was fookin huge so i would think it would be possible for one to carry a small child

Anyone heard the urban myth of the big time contractor who went perm and flew to the States regularly ?

A load of cobblers I reckon

Well. When I watched in slow frame it has shadows in all the right places. Watch it again, slowmo it and then comment again.

Actually screw that. Good isn't it. :-o

Here's a PDF of a scanned 1901 newspaper telling the tale of an eagle carrying off a baby, the mother giving chase on a mule, and having then to dangle down a cliff on a rope and kill both the eagle and its mate to get the baby back

One snatched the dog on Meet the Parents so it must be possible.

Trust the Sun to fall for it, the mugs (if they did, and weren't knowingly reporting a fake as if it was real).

Will cloud computing lead to redendancies of vast numbers of IT support and development staff?

Nah it's an urban myth.
