Wisconsin hunter bags deer with 7 legs

rod1.jpgRick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway. The young buck had nub antlers ? and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs. "It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity." ..."It's a pretty weird deer," he said, describing the extra legs as resembling "crab pinchers."

"It kind of gives you the creeps when you look at it," he said, but he thought he saw the appendages moving, as if they were functional, before the deer was hit. ... Bilgo took photos and sent information on the animal to DNR wildlife managers. ... "And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty." - yahoo

Where do they find these people? "It was so weird ... so I killed it and ate it." That's humanity for you. That will be our credo as we explore the universe. Seek out strange new lifeforms, and eat them. Extrapolating, it is only a matter of time before some advanced alien race finds us and writes a book on "How to Serve Man"

It's interesting to imagine the effect if life on other planets tasted better than anything that we've ever eaten before.

That's a great element, that I've never seen before, for a SF story.

It is pretty amusing that the people who find the "freaks" of nature eat them. If I found a deer with seven legs there is no way in hell I'd eat it.
