One question: Why?

'Cause sometimes you're all "man I wanna thread about armadillos or some shit" and it's nice to think about, but then you realize that a thread about armadillos might be awesome 'cause, you know, armadillos!

Or maybe it's just a thread that after you start it you realize that it's just positively crawling with poo bugs, and no one wants to touch a thread filled with poo bugs.

Quote from: Wikipedia

The North American nine-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often collides with the undercarriage or fenders of passing vehicles.

Aaaw.

At first I was like, "Aww!" and then I was like, "Aww!"

I guess it doesn't work as well when you don't have inflection.

It's also surprisingly hard to find a video of an armadillo jumping. The best I've found is this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkUAe0ZBJCg) at about a minute in.

No wonder they're the largest roadkill population in Texas. Poor little guys!
