Biologist: Are we ready? Lemming: Just about got it, Cliff. Weeks of observation confirmed that the myth was, in fact, a reality. Lemmings do indeed jump off Cliffs.
I think he is subtly trolling us…Every time a comic features a lemming joke, at least 2 or 3 comments will be made about how they don’t jump off cliffs and it was all staged in the Disney movie, etc.
I once saw a sign saying “beware of cliffs”. I immediately imagined hundreds of Cliff Richards leaping out of the bushes “singing” at people as they walked past.

It’s nice to know that there are creatures out there who, when life deals them a bunch of lemons, they make lemming aid.

Cliff only needed them to help because everyone knows that white guys can’t jump.

Positive to postive, negative to ground. I learned that from Phineas & Ferb. The last time I did it wrong was kinda shocking.

Nice play on words, Mr. Hilburn. Some people don’t get it though.

I’m thinking about rubber bands, and other things made of elastic.

I always thought that negative was connected to earth (ground) anyway.

I’m almost 100% sure lemmings having the ability to jump start cars is not correct information
