If you mine it, they will come

As loath as I am to link to yet another Boing Boing story, I couldn't resist using this title. The story concerns the Falkland Islands, where penguins and other lightweight animals have taken over minefields to use as breeding grounds. It seems that the mines keep people and sheep away, but are just right for increasing the numbers of creatures that are too light to set off any explosions. And to think all those bleeding hearts at the U.N. are always trying to ban the use of land mines!
