Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the water, you find that birds in Australia have learned to use fire to set fires; all in the name of the circle of life.
"FOR THOUSANDS of years Australia's indigenous people have spoken about 'firehawk' raptors that intentionally spread bushfires in order to corner their prey.
Now, a new study has documented and confirmed the bizarre ritual of these firehawks, finding that at least three raptor species "act as propagators" of wild fire."
The birds will "pick up smoldering grass and sticks from raging bushfires and transport them up to a kilometre away". They use these 'tools' to set fires in non-burning areas to start a frenzy of small animals running for safety; or, out of the fire and into the frying pan.
Time for small animals everywhere to unite and form their own fire departments... Volunteers only, please.

Heh, I neither suicides nor morphed into a bogan, so no sacrifice here.
This being said, feel free to drink whatever booze you like and for whatever reasons.

The real deal is a 14% ABV Four Loko. It's not necessary to commit suicide with this [www.good.is].
