Don't anger the butterfly
From a recent op/ed by the Karner Blue Butterfly in The Onion:
I think people always expected that when the time came for us to go extinct, we'd go down all quietlike--that just because we're small blue butterflies with a wingspan of an inch, we wouldn't put up a fight. Well, I can assure you that before my kind dies out there will be a reckoning. Blood will run in the streets. Human blood.
I swear to you on all that is good and holy that before the Karner blue goes extinct, myself and the last remaining members of my species will take out as much of the human race as we possibly can. There will be mayhem. Children will die. People will suffer.
You can take that to the bank.
So... tread lightly in the Pine Bush. There's nothing more dangerous than a butterfly with nothing left to lose.
(Thanks, Mathew!)

I just wanted to spread the word -- it could be a dangerous situation.

Umm, yeah...
Looks like someone has been thoroughly brainwashed.
