Hey, this is just a myth! Lemmings don't actually commit suicide.
Believe me, I've spent the last three years studying lemmings. (Among
other things like the Canadian showshoe-hare.)
There is a rather famous scene in a Disney "documentary" showing
lemmings leaping off a cliff to commit suicide. They achieved this
effect by paying the local population a small sum for each lemming they
could collect, and used a truck to dump them off a cliff.
True, in peak lemming years, the population gets so abundant that they
migrate and sometimes _accidentally_ fall into the water. Lemmings can
swim, but some drown. In Norway, we use running, surface water as
drinking water, so in peak lemming years we call the taste of it "Bitter
Lemmen". (Lemmen is Norwegian for lemming.)
ObFun: What a weekend! First, the news from LEGO Direct. Then, I got
an offer for a new job, which I accepted. Then the LUGNET membership
packet arrived. (Great stuff, Todd & Suz!)
