Maybe you buried your sister alive in your backyard?
Or covered your fellow lawyers in pitch and set them on fire?
Or maybe you took an enemy lawyer down to your firms' catacombs for a taste of wine, and walled him in?
They might hear the beating of the hideous heart of the law partner you buried behind the wall of your office.
Did you solve a murder involving an orangutan recently?
Ravens also are attracted to men with a penchant for dead, beautiful young women.

If they're engaged in witty repartee, then they're magpies.

Ravens are pretty freakin' huge compared to your standard crow. A raven is as large (or larger) than most hawks you see on phone lines. Just sayin'. My dad's a pretty avid birdwatcher and has mentioned that he's only had one legitimate raven sighting, ever. Those looks like crows to me. ie, rats with wings. Exterminate every last one of them.

/holy [expletive] , I guess I'm a birding elitist now.
/also, I am an advocate of anti-animal violence against an entire species.

Yeah, ravens are ginormous. They're fairly common here in upstate NY.

Maybe hard to tell from the picture, but these guys were huge - almost the size of our vultures. After looking at them up close, I'm pretty sure they're ravens.
