I would suggest to call one of those finches Usama Bin-Laden, and then call the CIA and tell them Usama is in your garden. I think that will do the trick. -m- |

Electrify the whole thing using parts from a bug zapper, except the nectar distribution hole. The hummingbird will hover while feeding, the finches will try to perch. Then position a feeding bowl for the cat directly under the feeder to catch the electrocuted finches in. The hummingbirds are all happy and fed, the finches are all toasted and dead, and the cat has all those dead finches to shred. A simple and ecologically sound approach, and it even saves on buying cat food. ;-) Pat |

Just start calling some of your friends, and send them e-mails, saying UBL is in your garden. Make sure you say that name a couple of times. Echelon will certainly pick it up, and they will come and visit your garden automagically. Hey, what is that swooshing woop woop woop sound I hear outside? And why are there 3 men in black suits on my balcony all of a sudden? |

The bug zapper is powered by a tiny dynamo driven by a steam engine powered by steam generated from burning the methane produced by cat feces and urine. In this way, the cat feeds itself in sort of a closed ecological loop: Cat Feces and Urine Methane Heat Steam Steam Engine Mechanical Energy Electrical Energy Dead Finches Cat Cat Feces and Urine...and so on.I call this concept "The Lightning Bolt Litter Box". Condensation of the steam will be accomplished by a radiator cooled by the downdraft of the visiting hummingbirds wings. In a improved second generation system, the methane in the cat feces will be used directly to produce electrical power via a fuel cell attached to the cat's rump, as well as the Galvanic effect of its urine running over zinc and copper plates housed in a box attached to its underside. I call this concept "The Pooping And Peeing Power Pussy". In the ultimate system, the hummingbird feeder will be attached directly to the top of the cat's head and a perch point for finches will be be mounted directly in front of its mouth. The agility of the hovering hummingbirds shall prevent their capture by the cat, or at least serve as a useful means of natural selection to encourage them to either evolve faster reflexes or eat less. I call this concept "A Probable Visit From PETA". :-) Pat |
