What do these guys know about forests?

Heh, they said "wood" several times.

Actually, them causing fires is one of the reasons they're needed...

Dead wood vital for office life?

There is unrest in the forest. . .

Dead people are vital to a mortician's way of life.

Old man, turned 98, he won a lottery,
and died the next day, is'nt it ironic...

/no no no you biatch !!!!

Not really ironic..

Really? I thought the forest got its nutrients from fairyland and the local animal and insect population lived in gingerbread houses. Well fellas, we learn something new every day.

/no shiat.

Anyone who believes this is ironic either doesn't understand biology, or doesn't understand irony. Or both.

You have to hope we increase accessibility to every place on Earth so silly nature doesn't have to struggle without our help.

didn't we learn this in 7th grade science class? why is this news?

ironic that dead animal flesh keeps other animals alive!

and that towels get wet the more they dry!

There is unrest in the forest. . .

there is trouble with the trees!

MadFarker

Maybe he died from all the excitement? Then it'd be ironic.

Dead news vital for Farklife. Hmm, Farklife? Sounds like a song.

I get up when I want, except on Thursdays when I'm rudely awakened by Barjockey being a cock,
(FARKLIFE!)
I look at boobies for half an hour and then think about leaving the house,
(FARKLIFE!)
I troll the political threads - I sometimes troll the religious ones, they love a bit of it,
(FARKLIFE!)

Chorus:

Aaaaall the boobies,
So many boobies,
they aaaall go down in flames,
Down in flames on their a-Farklife...

Hmm. Work in progress.

This is not ironic. This is obvious.

But then again, even today many are frightened by political advertisements featuring wolves. Paleolithic superstitions persist, and seem to be on the rebound.

"That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, an indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding."

- Edward Abbey

Ironic if you're maybe 7 years old.

this was greenlit?

Hey, at least we leave our dead trees alone in Canada.

/didn't RTFA
//trolling

Wild Bill Hickok lived and died in dead wood.

Whoa...you mean to say that human intervention is BAD in Nature, which dealt without humans for thousands (at minimum) or millions of years? Wow...who'da thunk that Nature knows better than our vastly superior intellects.

See? I knew those tree-huggers were wrong. Kill all the trees and the forest benefits!

Box up the republican party, and ship em off to the brits... that should help them with their dead wood problem.

/Senseless troll
/8 days to election?

Yet when I tried to prove that dead children are good for schools, they locked me up. Double standards, I say.

I think we need a new WITN tag for Why Is This News.

Or new mods. Either way.

The fark mods recognize the 'SPIN-ability' of their fellow farkers, case in point - my previous comment.

Is the obvious ironic just for being so obvious that.....

fark it, where's the boobies link?

An other way of saying that is Fark-liters are vital to Total Farkers survival?

Those forests better hope man never dies out. We're always figuring stuff like this out for them.

dukefluke: Applause!

/better than "golf clap", right?

i cant wait for the study that reveals that extinction of species is vital because it provides room for other species to evolve and grow into new slots in the worldwide ecosystem. Then i'll take that study over to the WWF and tell them to stfu.

Who doesn't know that?

.

wanna buy some dead wood?

WWF, the global environment group,

I stopped RTFA right there b/c I knew someone was going to "take it to the ring". Thank you for being the one to make coffee go from my nose to my keyboard in no time flat.

satek - vastly - thanks!

I guess the Ironic tag would be appropriate if this was geared toward Fark for Elementary School Kids... or Remedial Fark...

?

Let's export some of these here cute emerald ash borer to them, then they'll have so much dead wood they can't possibly get rid of it all.

You should see what Pine Beetles (+ drought) did to the forests around my town.

It's still surprising that the publicly educated don't understand the concept. How do they imagine a forest is created? Or lost?

//There should be a test for graduation. Oh...wait...

There should be a test for graduation

Then no one would graduate, silly!

Wow...who'da thunk that Nature knows better than our vastly superior intellects.

The sooner Mother Nature acknowledges our superior way of doing things, the better off we'll both be...

God told me to clearcut!

silly Mother Nature...
/shakes head

My forestry professor always used to complain that people think they need to "clean" the forest. Dead wood is not really a problem in terms of fires unless the Forest service spends most of the 20th century putting out fires wherever they start or there is a major event that creates a lot of dead wood (i.e. the Boundary Waters Blow-Down).
