David Attemborough on Lemming

I was busy doing some homework tonight and happened to google some very interesting information:

Humans have always had a soft spot for the furry little rodents, lemmings. This may be because they are somewhat cute if you look hard enough, or it may be that they are excellent in milkshakes. It is a known fact however, that they are extremely prone to jumping off cliffs. Although it is not the main goal in their life, many people and native tribes swear that they have seen the filthy little creatures run screaming off cliffs.(It is still not known that lemmings have the ability to scream and if this isn't just a tidbit added for interest over the years). There have even been games designed after lemmings' amazing talent....(eh-oh no more lemmings).

Many people have wondered why the lemmings haven't died out, when huge numbers jump off cliffs, and although there is no proven answer, there are suspitions that the stronger of the race develop "wings", much like flying squirrels. (This is just a rumor though) Lemmings can be domesticated, but they are extremely prone to jumping off the highest point in the household, in an attempt to re-kindle their lost ways. Maybe one day, we too will understand the ways of cliff-jumping, but for now, all we can do is make lemmilkshakes, and make home videos of them at their work for cheap laughs
