"First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported yesterday.

In the end, 450 animals died, the daily newspaper Aksam said.

Those which jumped later were saved as the pile got higher, cushioning the fall.

Now I've got a whole new way to count sheep when I'm trying to get to sleep!

There is something just a little funny about the ones jumping later being "cushioned" as the pile got higher.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Am I a dickless piece of shit for finding this somewhat amusing?

that's sooooo strange. Perhaps the first one fell off and his/her closest mate jumped in after him/her causing a few more sheep to jump over and a snowball effect occuring??

The first one tripped and the next one went to see what happened and thanks to stupid sheep behavior forced him off and the rest of the flock assumed that was the way to go :)
