I know this has nothing to do with the point of the article, but Weeping Angels are exactly the wrong analogy for something approaching slowly!

I think the comparison was more based on the rooster approaching when they werent looking and stopping when they were. I can't recall any other monsters that do that.

Indeed, this is the part of the behavior I was referring to :) It's a good point about the speed though - not the perfect analogy.
