Pigeon guided missiles? C'mon...... Crow's make more sense. I mean, with the price of fuel, why not "as the crow flies"? Just seems more efficient to me-

Michael,

I am telling you, Skinner really did try to convince everyone that pigeons would be "the bomb" at guiding missiles. It was called Project Pigeon... I lie not.

It's a good thing that you weren't his assistant because your "crow idea" actually makes more sense.
