Enocia Joseph: In Theory

So many people have theories why such and such is such and such. If people can have theories, so can I.

While I was taking a walk in a park I saw a sign that read: "No Entry." Beyond the sign was a lone pigeon sitting in the "no entry" area. How come he gets to break the rules and I can't?

I have seen a pigeon cross over a Pelican Crossing. No surprise there then - "birds (pelican) of a feather flock together."
I have seen a pigeon walk up and down stairs.
I have seen pigeons fly, which is a rarity these days, at least for London pigeons.
I have seen pigeons get themselves run over by cars and buses, which is a mystery as they have wings.

But one thing I've never seen a pigeon do is read.

My theory is that pigeon paid no attention to the "no entry" sign because he couldn't read. The same applies to the rest of our feathered friends and animals.

Later while I was at the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. I noticed a woman and her toddler around the fountain. The baby wanted to dive in fully clothed but his mother was saying "no." Visitors are encouraged to sit on the edge and wash their feet but nowhere does it say you can go in fully clothed. The baby obviously couldn't read.

I hereby relinquish my literacy skills.

Let the fun begin!

I wonder if one could hop in an innertube and float around in it. Doesn't look quite rapid enough to be a water slide. Well, maybe some {LINK:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck|rubber duck} races...after all, if they're good enough for QEii, they're good enough for Diana's fountain.

They may be horrible at reading comprehension, but they can sift through alot of written material and find certain {LINK:http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html|keywords}, bringing them to the surface for others to read.

The fountain has different flows, fast and slow rather like the mind, which is very suitable for a rubber duck. :) Apparently the water is clean enough to drink but I wouldn't want to after seeing so many...uh...cheesy feet dipped into it. :-)

All in all, the memorial is a lovely idea - beautiful and so peaceful.

[[While no pigeon has actually been confirmed for a seat on the Supreme Court, pigeons are surprisingly adept at making instant judgments when confronted with difficult choices. This makes them suitable for any job requiring accurate and authoritative decision-making under pressure. Among the positions in which pigeons have served capably are replacement air traffic controllers, butterfly ballot counters and pro football referees during the "no-instant replay" years.]]

Hahaha, what a hoot! Do pigeons hoot or is it owls?

Thanks jmarc.
