Jeff, look in google under "duck noose"... you will some interesting things. One is a Native American set of finger knots, and the other is a story about a rabbit and a duck... BTW...I know it's hard not to be impatient that these guys aren't caught yet, but NONE of us wants chip implants to let anyone know where we are going.....do we? Look how long it has taken to catch the other mass murderers....years and years, some of them. BUT, one thing we DO know....we WILL get them!

OMGosh...I mentioned this Rabbit and Duck story to Jeff and the thread early this AM...(i:30 or so ET)...Here's the AP story just now... Message 18150545 Sniper's Message Cites Cherokee Tale Sniper's Last Message Refers to Cherokee Indian Story About Rabbit Duped by Duck The Associated Press abcnews.go.com W A S H I N G T O N, Oct. 24 — The last cryptic message from Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose to the Washington-area sniper referred to a Cherokee Indian story about an arrogant rabbit that was duped by the duck he tried to catch. "You have indicated that you want us to do and say certain things. You've asked us to say, 'We have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose.' We understand that hearing us say this is important to you," Moose said late Wednesday at a televised news briefing, called so authorities could release information on two people sought for questioning in the 13 sniper shootings. In the ancient story, passed down through generations of Cherokee Indians, a rabbit brags that he can catch a duck. He throws a noose over the neck of a duck, but it flies away with the rabbit hanging on. Eventually the rabbit must let go, landing in a hollow tree stump. The conceited animal has to eat his own fur for food and is embarrassed by his appearance when he finally escapes. "His boastfulness got him in trouble and eventually destroyed him," said Tera Shows, spokeswoman for the Cherokee Nation, based in Tahlequah, Okla. Ultimately, the killer blamed for shooting 13 people, 10 of whom died, around Washington over the last three weeks may be less duck than rabbit, Shows said. John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, were arrested Thursday morning for questioning in the killings. "It does look like (the sniper) maybe is the rabbit," Shows said.
