If you wanted to save a billion pounds, you would have had to save up £1 per minute since Jesus was born
If you can´t afford £1 a minute, you could start during the stone age and save £1 per hour
So far I have £5

Lemmings have NEVER jumped off cliffs, not ever. For some unknown reason Disney included a scene of them jumping off a fake cliff during their wildlife documentary called The Wilderness in the 1960s (it may have been 1950s but I can´t be bothered to check).
Ouhhhhhhhhh the power of Disney

Not quite true m´dear.......
Lemmings DO jump off cliffs but not as an act of mass suicide. They do it as part of a migration process when their population increases. They go off in search of new food sources and view an ocean as just another river. Occasionally their population grows so great that the first to reach a cliff get pushed off by the huge numbers of lemmings behind them.

Well..... sorry but I am still right. Being pushed is not quite the same as jumping
(It is the same with water fountains )

I´m not sure a water fountain is a good place to affect suicide!!!
Lemmings DO jump off cliffs - they do it to cross the body of water in order to find a place with a lower lemming population and therefore a better food supply. It is just that when that ody of water is an ocean the lemmings die of exhaustion before getting to the other side. They are good swimmers and regularly swin across rivers.......

I am sure you understand what I am saying - they do not commit suicide - mass or not. OMG I can´t believe I am arguing over lemmings.....

My sentiments entirely!!!
Especially on TC when there doesn´t seem to be a Turkish word for Lemming.
The closest I can find is kuzey memleketlerine özgü bir çeþit iri kýr faresi

If there is no Turkish word for lemming, then we must assume they deny all existence of them, so we may as well talk about dragons.
ejderha - dragon
(They exist in Turkey)
