They're all mad!

Goshen

Over the past two days I have read three articles outlining what can only be described as absolute insanity.

1. A pigeon was arrested and is being kept in custody in India, on suspicion of being a Pakistani spy.

2. Jihadis ISIS have banned pigeon breeding as looking up at their naked genitals in the sky offends Allah.

3. A Pakistani cleric says that women wearing jeans can cause deadly earthquakes.

Now, in fairness, I've never trusted them there pigeons with their constant coo coo coo-ing. They clearly can't be trusted as they can't keep their beaks shut. But I can honestly say that I have never noticed a pigeons genitals.

As for the earth moving when I don a pair of jeans? Well, there may be a bit of truth to that one alright..............

Seriously though. How can a seemingly intelligent species fall for this sh1t?

That's the daily mail. So the story is probably bull****.

Still, you can ask the same question. How can people be so stupid to believe this crap.

Can I just point out that "Naked Pigeon Genitals In The Sky" would be an absolutely incredible name for an Indie-Funk band?

Migrating African pigeons?

Right. That's it, my feathers have been officially ruffled.
The racism in this thread would make a Magpie blush.

Nonsense, they've clearly evolved that way.

There's plenty of that kind of nonsense here in Ireland.
If there's thunder, you must cover all mirrors as they draw lightning. There's many more, my neighbours are genuine believers in these stories.

There was a woman wearing jeans just before that recent Japanese earthquake.

May be something to it.
