[TheForge] Way OT --- Gopher Vacuum

[xlch58 at swbell.net]

This is way off topic, but saw a news short that reminded me of a thread 
here a couple of years ago on getting rid of gophers.   The news short 
was an old one, but showed a guy who built a huge truck mounted vacuum 
that he used to  suck prairie dogs out of their holes for farmers.    
Says he sells the animals rather than killing them.   They are unharmed 
by their trip through the machine.    Pretty funny watching them shoot 
out of the tube into a holding chamber.  Suprisingly they were pretty 
docile when plucked out of the chamber and held with bare hands (not 
something I would do)
