Is it bad luck to kill a pigeon?
I know that it is bad luck to kill a mockingbird, and I even think that Native American's consider it bad luck to kill a crow. But is it bad luck to kill a pigeon?
Let me start out by saying that I was not aiming my SUV at the pigeon. The pigeon hit me during my morning commute on I-40. The pigeon was flying about 4 feet high and looked like he was banking a curve for a landing when he hit the bottom corner of my windshield with a loud "thump". It really all happened in slow motion. My Dad decided that the pigeon's name was probably Ralph, and he had a New York accent. Erin decided that I was doing Mother Nature a favor by weeding out the 'retarded genes' in the pigeon gene pool.
I'm really in shock about the whole thing.

I just feel like pigeons flying at 4 feet trying to land on I-40 SHOULD be weeded out of the gene pool. Its not like pigeons are that smart in the first place...but then throw that in the mix...
