This may be the funniest picture so far. I had no idea this could ever be a problem pilots would have to face.

They used to have a problem with ants eating all the food in the airport cafeteria so they brought in some aardvarks to keep their numbers down but then they were overrun with aardvarks so they brought in some giraffes to chase the aardvarks away but then they were overrun with giraffes (and planes kept running into them) so they brought in some lions ....

All this could have been avoided if they built hangars. Won't you please help African airports by donating today? (This message paid for by USA AFRICA Airlines)

Well, it's pretty obvious to me that planes need razor-sharp leading wing-edges to combat this giraffe menace.

Yeah, and then the giraffe's head gets to spend two minutes still alive panicking on the ground wondering why its in pain and can't move. You know how much blood half a giraffe's neck can hold?

I don't think that makes a difference in how long the animal will remain conscious after decapitation because there's not going to be any circulation through the brain in any case. It would be dead in a few seconds just like anything else.

Depends on which way it falls. If it lands on its side with the carotid artery sticking up, gravity could be enough to keep it flowing for a bit. Hang on, I need to model this out in matlab.

Re Kangaroos: The way the males fight for dorminance is literally to try to push, punch and kick eachother over then strangle them either to death or into submission. That is why they are loving ripped because whoever can strangle the most effectively lives to breed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt1C9qmuh_g For instance.

It would be dead in a few seconds just like anything else. I think the human head can remain alive for like 8 seconds after decapitation. The internet says 15 to 20 seconds, but I'm going off a test during the French revolution on how long a guillotine victim was able to blink his eyes. I can't find the study now, but I think it was 8 seconds. Obviously you need some pretty lovely circumstances to carry out those kinds of experiments so there may be some disagreement on their methodology. Peer review is just murder.

I can't find the study now, but I think it was 8 seconds. That study never actually happened, but the rumor usually cites that it was performed by (on?) Antoine Lavoisier, an 18th century French scientist. The Straight Dope re-ran an article about this topic just yesterday.

NoneMoreNegative posted:Well, it's pretty obvious to me that planes need razor-sharp leading wing-edges to combat this giraffe menace. The F-104 interceptor had sharpened leading edges on their wings. They were literally last-ditch melee weapons intended for use against nuclear-armed bombers; the guided missiles of the day were not very good, and it only carried two missiles. An attack of this nature would be made against the tail surfaces. A few things to note in regards to this; sharpened wings are not very good as wings per say, the F-104 flew more on the "anything will fly if you fling it hard enough" principle; it had what is known as a "supercritical" wing, which generates lift only at certain airspeeds and is very thin overall. There were sets of sheaths for the wings to protect ground crew from injury by walking into the wings.
