Because it's not the kill, it's the hunt.

Way cool statue, who sells that?
Anyway to answer the question: 1. Acme does not serve lunches 2. When you are a super-genius you look for complicated ways to solve simple problems otherwise you can't demonstrate your genius. Used to love those cartoons when I was a punk. Btw it is Wile E. Coyote

It turns out Wile E. Coyote sued Acme.
"You see, ladies and gentleman, while the plaintiff is a natural predator, he is not a very good one. His own skills were inadequate to complete the task at hand, so he chose to seek the aid of various devices to effectuate his diabolical schemes. He looked in a catalogue, saw my client's products, and ordered them in the hope that they would assist him in killing his prey." http://www.interweavers.com/brett/hu...yote-acme.html Btw: I could not find the page that sells the statue.

Drat!
If anyone does find the site that sells these, please share the link. Wile E. Coyote fits right in where I work. We often try the most complex and complicated solution for the simplest problems.
