Maybe if I said soccer or cricket or badminton something, but I think rugby is one of those sports that pretty much everyone agrees is kinda cool.

I'm gonna guess that's the MCG, and tell you that Melbourne pigeons fear nothing. Their natural habitat is the Central Business District among cars, trams, busses, trains and horse-drawn carts, and they know their way around all of it without getting killed. They're nigh-indestructable, and their only competition are the Seagulls that have claimed Federation Square as their foraging turf. Pigeons don't go near Fed Square if there are seagulls about, because those fuckers are capable of anything if there's a chip in it for them.

You know, now that you've said it, I realize I do think rugby is kinda cool. I don't even like sports. Maybe basketball? I used to play that. But yeah, rugby is cool.

E: it's the only one I've actually had fun watching in recent memory, anyway.

You have to agree though, those pigeons still didn't fear the fire jets. They flew through those things without a care whether they lived or died.

I don't think pigeons are birds. I think they're more like a force of nature. Nothing you do can ever possibly get rid of them but they always find some way to make the way you got rid of them somehow worse. They just seem to appear in gargantuan numbers wherever people build a lot of buildings.

It's called the Gas Brigade Fire Show, and it runs outside of Crown Casino at night by the Yarra River. I think it's even still going, iirc.

Just type "melbourne pigeons casino fire" into google and watch any of the videos if you really need to see thousands of pigeons flying around on fire, not giving a poo poo and falling on people on their way to the casino.


EDIT: Nope, it seems just about every video's gone. :10bux: says Crown Casino has been getting them pulled.

Birds can't see at night, if something bright and loud spooks them they'll fly when the rest of the flock flies. And if the flock flies them into a natural predator a giant jet of fire, welp.

Hitler wasn't a coward in general. He used to get Goebbels to let spiders out at the window sometimes, but everyone's got their weak spots and spiders ARE pretty unnerving.

Hitler climbing up on a chair and shrieking while Goebbels scampers around trying to catch a spider in his hat is kinda hilarious.

I used to live across from an old abandoned parking building that got demolished and the number of pigeon refugees was astonishing. One really fat one made a nest on our balcony though and none of us could bring ourselves to chase her away or kill the eggs, so we ended up with a family of pigeons on our balcony. I have a soft spot in my heart for pigeons still

Joseph! Hitler could never count on Goering to undertake such delicate operations after an incident in May of 1942 when the Reichsmarschall was up to his eyeballs in painkillers and spent 47 minutes stalking a particularly large house spider around the room determined to capture it fully intact so it could be mounted as a trophy at Carinhall.
