I threw a banana out onto the deck and killed a firefly. Ask me anything. |

1. Did you do it on purpose? |
|
If Yes, why? If No, don't be sad about it... it was just fate or something.

2. No, I didn't kill the firefly on purpose. |
|
And I only know I killed it because it blinked several times rapidly then slowly faded off. :cry:
I know . . . I'm still a little sad. Sigh.

But look at it like this...
Maybe you killing it spared it some worse fate. Like isn't there some weird bug that has a fake firefly light on it and it lures male fireflys in and kills them? AlienGirl would know...

3. was the banana food for the nocturnal visitors - raccoons, |
|
possums, etc.?
Don't worry, you've just helped the firefly move on to its next reincarnation a little early. Perhaps it is now a butterfly, or a hummingbird, or a dolphin or whatever it wanted to be. If it was an accident, and I'm sure it was b/c I don't think you'd purposefully ever harm anything, then no worries. Honest.

5. Yes. Intended for Roxanne, a pregnant raccoon, or for whatever |

possum or critter comes along who likes bananas.
Thank you for your kind words.
(Boy, this thread'll get me branded a moonbat quicker than you can say "GW Bush hates everyone who doesn't lick his boots, and he certainly isn't a Christian." :P)

10. well then, moonbats unite! The world would be a much |

better place if there were more of us. You should see me trying to drive when there are Monarch butterflies around, or in the springtime when the robins are playing their dart-across-the-road games. I can't help it; I'm crippled by my instinct to not hurt a single creature.

7. The old Devil is in you and, as an aside, why do you hate God? |
