Disturbing to think that one of nature's mysteries turns out to be the same gimmick the Pee Wee Herman-esque alien ship and smart-aleck kid used to move through Florida in Flight of the Navigator.
Now, if only science could explain how they can be so damn accurate when shitting on just-washed cars...
Star wipe, and...we're out.
Thrillin' ain't easy.

..Although... just-washed cars could be their rest stops!

| #4 Posted on 6.2.04 1338.17 | I always was told that since the just washed car is shiny, to the eye of a flying bird, it appears similar to a small body of water, and most birds prefer going over water. I have no knowledge as to whether this is an old story, or if it is true.

spent $20 on is complete and utter shit. ----The Bloodhound Gang's Jimmy Pop Ali
