This One's For The Birds
There are so many great things in this article about a bank's efforts to rid itself of pesky pigeons, but my favorite part is the very last paragraph. It's not every day you hear death described as an "unfortunate side effect."
It made me think of those ads you see on TV for allergy medicines or whatever, and they start rattling off the fine-print list of side effects really fast at the end. Just imagine: "Use of Xiloagiuannicin may result in hair loss, runny nose, death, and stomach cramps."
Hmmm, I think we're all going to have to listen a LOT more carefully to those from now on.

Intersting post. I remember years ago a race horse named Easy Goer mysteriously dropped dead of ananaphylactic shock, which is an extreme allergic reaction.
The vet went on to say death is "an allergic reaction." It was never determined to what Easy Goeer was allergic too...life, maybe?
