3 AM, do you get the feeling that this event was affected by a wee dram or two? BTW, good for the armadillo. |

Just enough to wet his whistle. |

The armadillo – which is by the way the state animal of Texas – is sitting back with a cold one enjoying the fact that turnabout is fair play |

It is sort of in the name really. |

the early German settlers of Texas called them panzerschwein. Evidently for good reason. |

I hit one with the car the other day. The armored groundhog ran away after damaging my tire. |

The gentleman's name is not mentioned in the article. I wonder how much he had to pay/what he had to do to achieve that. Grelber |

The armadillo or the shooter? |

I was intrigued at how firing at an animal in front of him led to a "ricochet" that must have turned 180 degrees and come right back at him. Not being a ballistics expert or gun afficionado, the chances of there not being a third element intervening seems very slim. |

Bravo armadillo! Reminds me of an incident in a British Napoleonic artilleryman's memoirs when some of his comrades on Gibraltar, well liquored up, decided to throw stones at the Barbary Apes. The latter retailiated in kind and – not being drunk – proved better shots and drove the gunners off in retreat! |

Good thing the guy wasn't on full auto. |

The whole story isn't being told. The guy is leaving out the part where the armadillo took the gun from him… |

Is this the way to arm a 'dillo? |

Coworker of mine back home took some birdshot to some rats infesting a basement… forgetting that said birdshot will ricochet nicely off the basement walls. He narrowly avoiding getting chomped by the ricochet but he invested in rat poison instead. |
