Just hit the thing!" I don't <em>want</em> to hit it, so that may be part of the problem. I did hit a big frog once -- it made a terrible thud against the under carriage of my car -- and here I am still talking about it 15 years later. Ugh. It was awful. Last week on NPR they had a segment about the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92151807" rel="nofollow">road kill warden</a> at Yosemite National Park where tourists drive too fast and hit and kill bears every week. I know you're probably not interested in listening about roadkill on NPR, but I thought it was kind of interesting and related to your post.
