Bert has told Ernie for years now that a nutritious glass of pigeon milk makes you keep a healthy yellow pallor. However, thinking about it is making me turn a bit green to be honest. Crop Milk indeed.

"Bird Strike" sounds like a terrorist action and as such, all the FAA has to do is declare a "War on Birds" Based on similar actions by other governmental bodies in similar situations, I believe it will be only a matter of years before the birds give up and lay down their wings.

As a programmer, any time I hear hype like this ". . .could spell the end for accidental key presses." I laugh a little.
