look out belowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

(watch out mr kramer and the WHOLE danger seeking family)

AP) The area around Lake Eola has it all _ a sparkling fountain, waterside cafe, swan boat rides and a bevy of bird droppings.The foul smelling white film cakes lamp posts, covers sidewalks and park benches and stains the bushes and trees around a 100-foot stretch of the lake. Drivers who dare park their cars do so at their own risk. Within minutes, a car can turn from black to spotted along "bird poop alley," as residents call it.The problem, triggered when some trees thousands of cormorants used were removed from an island, has gotten so bad city officials posted four signs last week to warn passers-by. But the signs, which read "Caution _ Entering Bird Dropping Area," don't really do the situation justice.Cormorants, which dive into the water to catch fish and migrate south annually, are such prolific poopers that their South American cousins helped create Peru's guano islands.Angie Martinez parked her red Honda Civic under a tree for 20 minutes Tuesday when it was hit by the poopstorm."I went straight to get my car cleaned," she said. "I think it was kind of funny. As soon as a turned away, I saw my car bombed from the birds."..........

(i think i'm going to 'appropriate' the term 'hit by a poopstorm' when i speak of our country under this adminstration)
