chicken! chicken!
As you’ve probably gleaned, I am concentrating most of my web.energy on the 0lympics this week.
But while I’m here, lemme ask you a question: what is the deal with birds and flying across roads as directly in front of vehicles as possible? There are two ways they could avoid this…
- Wait until the car passes
- Fly above the car
I am convinced that birds all over the world are instead actually playing a game. Wait as long as possible, then dart in front of a huge oncoming vehicle and see if you can make it across.
It’s just a way for them to entertain themselves, like a modified version of “Chicken.” Though, they probably call it “human.”
