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!
