Have you ever gotten a crush on someone just by reading about something they did?

adobsonartworks posts: Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank? An MIT student dressed in a black-and- white striped shirt went to the Harvard football stadium every day of one summer, blowing a whistle while scattering breadcrumbs or birdseed to coax neighborhood pigeons down onto the field. At Harvard’s opening game of the season, upon the referee’s first whistle, it’s said hundreds of pigeons descended onto the field, causing a half-hour delay.

    @futurebird why the fuck is Pavlov's Dog the canonical example of this sort of thing when the MIT Pigeon Prank's just sat there?

    @pdcawley @futurebird Probably because this one isn’t real

    @futurebird @ClickyMcTicker @pdcawley But it should be. (Nonchalantly whistles and heads over to local playing fields...)

    @futurebird @ClickyMcTicker @pdcawley I wish I could say this was the saddest news in a long time. But it's close.

    This is the chaos mindset we need.
