What caused the Dodo to become exstinct?

Extinct?
Death.
all together now, ahahhahahahahahah, i'll rephrase the question shall i......what is it that caused the dodos to die in such a short time and eventually become extinct.

The trend to nail a Dodo around the drawing rooms of 18th century houses to keep furniture from marking the expensive wallpaper did them no good at all. Modern living rooms now use a wooden shaped baton for this purpose

I think you'll find that it was 18th century women using them as sex toys that actually caused their extinction. The invention of plastic was too late for the poor long suffering creatures.

wanna know the answer people?

1. Everyone knows that Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland but was not, in fact, Irish. Several people have already pointed that out. However, you can't just say that there is no answer at all (at all, at all rotflmao

). Unless, of course, you are suggesting that no-one of Irish birth has EVER been canonised. In which case, I think you are on very dodgy ground.
2. The Dodo was definitely hunted to extinction by man, but not for food. The fact is that the dodo had no natural predators and, therefore, had no reason to fear other animals. Therefore, when man arrived the poor dodo didn't realise that we weren't friendly. They literally stood there and let people shoot at them. You can imagine the dodo's thoughts:
"I think I'll go and introduce myself to those nice Portuguese sailors over there. wave

What's that long thing they're all holding? dunno

Why are are they pointing it at me? confused

"
BANG!!
"Oh bugger!" :doh:
3. To get back to more important things:
Although Sherlock Holmes never says "Elementary, my dear Watson" he does say "Exactly, my dear Watson." quite often (well, in several different stories at any rate). However, he does actually say "Elementary" to Watson in 'The Crooked Man'.
I feel better for that - I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I hadn't found that!

I think it might've been due to poor record sales dunno

Will, i'm pleased to see youve taken a break from writing a play to read some other peoples works.
Your right about the dodo, although being hunted for sport was a large factor in its exstinction it couldve recovered from a loss of numbers and carried on for longer than it did if it wasnt for the loss of its habitat, its habitat was destroyed by domesticated animals such as pigs. these two factors contributed to the death of the dodo.
