(no subject)
Just slept for 12 hours straight. Now that is what I call an exciting night.
I read a book once that mentioned an experiment that a guy had thought up that would be pretty easy to do, but he'd never done. It was like his life's work, and he couldn't bear to actually do it and find out whether or not his theory was true.
He wanted to raise homing pigeons on a moored boat, and teach them all the usual homing pigeon stuff until they were a perfectly trained crew who always came home to their boat.
Then one day he'd send them out with their messages, and he'd cast off.
Would the pigeons find their home to be the boat, or the land where the boat used to be.
I wonder if he ever did it. I've always wanted to know.
