We’ve got five copies of the great Bird Strike to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, simply come up with another type of animal you would want to launch into the sky, as well as a reason why… stranger and funnier the better… and post it in the comments section below.

We’ll choose our favourite and pick 5 winners later in the week. You can read our review of the game here.

UPDATE: AND THE 5 WINNERS ARE!

Thunderclaw - for inventing a new term ‘air-mauled’

Jeroen Pollet - for some terrible rhyming

Jas - For mixing politics and gaming (not recommended)

Austin - For mentioning the magic word… ‘Boobies’

Tim - something to do with Monkey Sex, and funny!

I’ll be using the email address you supplied when posting your comments below, to send out codes.

    I’d love to launch a bear into the sky because whatever it lands on gets air-mauled by a bear.

    if you ask me, an ostrich just might be able to fly if you give them the right stimuli.

    Launching hamsters sounds pretty fun to me. Not exactly deadly, but they are the right size to get amazing distance and speed out of.

    I like to launch a goat, because while it was soaring through the air I could imagine it were Stevie Nix screaming.
    The closest thing to launching Stevie herself…

    I’d find and launch the lesser spotted Bush Dubya all the way into orbit, which is rather dumber and therefore easier to track down than the closely related Blair.

    Note: The Bush Dubya is an oil-sniffing evil little beastie. Dumber than two short planks, but with a tremendous capacity to lead other similarly stupid animals into following it.

    Why launch the Bush Dubya? No particular reason - I just want to hear it scream :) Oh, and the world would be much improved ;)

    I’d launch a pig. You know, for the whole H1N1/Swine flu thing.
    It’s almost llike launching chemical weapons!

    An elephant because the bigger they are the harder they fall.

    i would launch a whale into the air, because it will destroy everything on its way up and also, on it’s way down!

    With the likelihood of temperatures in Hell dropping below 32 degrees Fahrenheit anytime soon being rather low, shooting off some pigs might be the best way to put a little fire under all the procrastinators of the world. :)

    a pair of “Blue Footed Boobies”…

    here’s a picture… http://tinyurl.com/yeff73a

    because who wouldnt love to see a nice pair of blue boobies flopping threw the air, especially after avatar.

    dudes, I want to launch some penguins in the air. If I’m lucky, I’ll hit some polar bears on the ground and get massive points. Crazy Penguin Catapult, Live! who doesn’t want that?

    Bonobo monkeys. The Bard once wrote “tary not on thy launching oh fornicating mandrakes–for therefore art thou not a bit beholden to the morning cock!” and I think it was because he had placed a bet that they could have sex at least 3 times each before hitting the ground.

    I’d like to launch an echidna into the air. So not only would it be a mammal that lays eggs but now has the ability to fly (for a short range that is).

    Plus if it rolled into a ball, I could pretend to be lakitu. Bombs away!

  14. Matt Allen on Tue, 26th Jan 2010 11:59 am 

    I would shoot a cock(rooster) and you would have to hit Little chicks

    Keep your entries coming :)

    A bird……. in Bird Strike, cause I want to play it!

  17. Raoupp on Wed, 27th Jan 2010 10:21 am 

    How about Tasmanian Devil? He’s the essence of speed and has the privilege to be launched into the sky as a first animal. Without a doubt! Now give me the code, please ;-)

  18. Tim on Wed, 27th Jan 2010 6:48 pm 

    Yay! I won!

    But it was for the monkey sex, and not the Shakespeare. Go figure.

    Well I’ve been wanting to give this one a try since hearing about it on the podcast and now I’ll be able to, risk free!

    To all you losers–it’s on sale now for 99 cents anyway, just in case you really do want to get it.
