I read somewhere that lemmings don't really commit mass suicide by banding together and hurling themselves from cliffs, and that the whole thing was made up by Disney cinematographers trying to liven up the story of the life of the lemming for a tv show.
So they banded together a bunch of lemmings and herded them together from place to place, before finally driving them over a cliff, all for the entertainment of the audience back home.

Now that may or may not be true, but if it is, that's just one more reason to turn your television into a fish tank.

**Edit: This story does seem to be true. Also, it's amazing how many hits you turn up googling for "Disney lemmings"**
