    that reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn for some reason -- how the baby chicken hawk and weasel kept trying to eat him

    "Unlike the man leading a horse across the nearby "T" Bridge, Mrs. Aoyama could not possibly leave a permanent shadow on the ground. From the moment the rays began to pass through her bones, her marrow would begin vibrating at more than five times the boiling point of water.

    The bones themselves would become instantly incandescent, with all of her flesh trying simultaneously to explode away from her skeleton while being forced straight down into the ground as a compressed gas. Within the first three-tenths of a second following the bomb's detonation, most of the iron was going to be separated from Mrs. Aoyama's blood, as if by an atomic refinery. "

    ...

    "Where the bomb had been, the metal rod and tamper system that ran down its center from nose to fin produced a cluster of dense metallic nuclei - stripped of their electrons, positively charged, and magnetically confined within forces that were trying to blow them apart at nearly the speed of light.

    The minds that conceived the bomb had accidently created, for an instant, a predecessor to brookhaven national laboratory's relativistic heavy-ion collider. The bomb was an atomic accelerator whose magnetic shotgun barrels were aimed straight up and straight down.

    One stream of iron and tungsten nuclei went to the stars at up to 90% the speed of light, passing the orbit of the moon about a second and a half later. The other stream followed magnetic field lines to the ground. Both streams produced 'strays' that arched along field lines almost twelve miles away, brushing through the planes that had delivered the bomb."

    Just FYI: According to the photographer, between the two, the bigger one is the predator.
    "The fight lasted for nearly 20 minutes with the Heron having to release its prey" - Jose Garcia from Miami, Florida


    What I'm still curious about more than anything is whose blood is on the snake's head and mouth. Is it from the heron's attack on the snake? Or is it from the snakebite on the heron's leg?
