Sure, the New Zealanders are smart, but everyone knows the true genius is coming from the Kiwi on that guy's head.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #407

extract from news article : ..."Most leaders lead by communicating well with others then helping them do it. Then there are those who simply do and have everyone else follow. However, Today I met a unique kind of leader. This bird simply sits on heads and watches, and those he sits on know exactly what to do. This bird knows it all and seems to teach by letting others learn. When asked about this leading strategy, a foreign exchange student from New Zealand that this grand bird helps lead said; 'you know, he never speaks and never moves on his own. Most think he is a stuffed animal he is so small and lazy. Is there any better way to observe?'"...

Student 1: Now line up those two holes...
Student 2: That's impossible! Even for a kiwi.
Student 1: It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two millimeters.
Student 2: Then man your robots. And may the Force be with you.

All was going well, until the MOE safety captain realized the New Zealanders had installed it upside down!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #407

The kiwi's are shown here installing the sideways guillotine mechanism on the robot. It seemed like an excellent strategy to "slice" through the competition. Unfortunately, the balls for Breakaway were a bit bigger than the pictures that they had seen and all didn't work well.
