Can you tell me where the clitoris is?
E: Damn, was just joking because the "backpack" looks similar to a vagina.
I'm confused, isn't the saying usually something like: "This is so much of something that even this unlikely event happens". That would make silicone tits standing up be the unlikely event. I'm not a doctor but isn't silicone tits being upright one of the advantages of them and therefore very likely?
2017... This post is 7 years old...
Don’t be an idiot. Seven years ago it was like, ‘95 or something
Some people like scrolling through 7 year old tweets, recalling the good times...
3 months later, i can confirm...
Good pigeon. Next time don't get caught though.
I wanna party with cocaine sea turtle and ecstasy pigeon
Manual: Swap pills with laxatives, let it deliver new package...
"🎶I can fly higher than an eagle🎶" - that pigeon, probably
Police create a mockup of a cocaine-fueled fever dream the chief had, because they think the average person is stupid enough to believe pigeons work like Harry potter owls
Homing pigeons have been used to carry messages and small items over long distances for literally thousands of years. It even has a phrase associated with the use: sending something by "pigeon post."
There are severe limitations, obviously, but they are very difficult to detect and intercept since, you know... they are birds. It's one technique sometimes used to snuggle light-weight contraband into prisons--drugs, SIM cards, etc.
Homing pigeons HOME! i.e. the only place they fly to is back home. You can't use them to discretely send drugs to people because the destination has to have a pigeon roost which is extremely unusual nowadays and therefore is very incriminating. The easy it would work is you take a pigeon FROM the roost to the remote location, then you load it with drugs and it will fly home to its roost.
I can't see a good use case here, but drug dealers have a large standard deviation when it comes to plan quality so I won't say it for sure didn't happen.
The other part is how did the police even notice and yet not find the destination roost and arrest the drug dealer? Put an air tag in the backpack and let it fly. Weird story for sure.
Agreed on why they didn't tag it and let it go. I assume the found the bird incidentally during a drug bust.
Pigeon roosts can be surprisingly discreet in prisons, where there are often natural pigeon roosts anyway. And prisons are also where small amounts of contraband are worth using various methods like this to move them.
Drones are also effective, but prisons have been getting better at detecting and preventing drone drops. Very difficult to figure out which bird you're supposed to shoot down though. Predatory birds can be used, but they don't always grab the right pigeon, since you can't train a hawk to distinguish which pigeon it should grab.
Homing pigeons, sure.
These are not those.
Small time drug dealers are not moving tiny handfuls of ecstasy using pigeons
You'd be surprised.
There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there is nothing left to do, and nothing else to pursue.
This guy's an expert on prison snuggling. 😆
Lol
Probably a stool pigeon.
More like a harmacist.
Pigeons... See they are evil.. i told you... They want world domination. They want us to be high all the time so we are there slaves and feed them 24-7. Not to mention what they will do to the cats...
I don't think that's how you carrier pigeon
Birds aren't real
