Let him go, gang. He's on a roll. First jargon.net, then this...next will be the Obijway 10 year snowshoe hare cycle.

<http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~cnstress/boonstra2001_what.pdf>, or see <http://trc.ucdavis.edu/bajaffee/SAS90B/Course Content/ Grammar Syllabus/Snowshoe hares.htm> for just the introduction. MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! C'mon, give me another one!

(Of course, that was the work of a few seconds in Google. Disturbingly, however, I knew that it was "Ojibway", not "Obijway", before Google corrected me. The football quote, by the way, was mostly researched by my coworker, John Comiskey, a notorious football nut. He has a database of NFL coaches that he uses for a test file. I gave up after finding two different attributions.)

I had quite forgotten about the Ojibway 10-year snowshoe hare cycle until reading that link. Now that I have, I remember learning about it back in high school biology, not to mention hearing about it from my dad, an environmental science professor.
