"Don't be racist against pigeons." -My friend Johannes

This, upon my verifying suspicions that "dove" and "pigeon" are the same word in German and my consequent bafflement and attempt to differentiate them by color.

The return of Squirrel Boy..... tinabina84 May 1 2006, 14:09:04 UTC
So guess what!?!? Last night, I was a little bit bored so I decided to cruise through people's myspace pages, and guess who's page I stumbled across?!?!?!......SQUIRREL BOY's!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA, anyway so I sent him a message asking if he remembered me/us (I described us as the loud girls that he probably wanted to throw something at EVERYDAY!) anyway, he wrote me a message back saying that he does remember (Oh and that he never wanted to throw anything at us!) I thought that that was pretty amusing and I just had to tell you! I hope you have a good week! XOXO

So I completely understand what you meant last summer when you said that english is a great language b/c of our extensive vocab... french is the same as german... they say so many ridiculous things! Like "I have more height than him" Instead of 'taller'... there's no word for taller (or shorter, for that matter). So yeah, go english. Annnnnnd, can you imagine the song '12 days of christmas' is pigeon and dove were the same in englsih?! B/c seriously, who wants two pigeons? (not that anyone really wants doves either, but pigeons would just be so much worse!)
Ok, end of this senseless post...

Okay, so that was SO hilarious. And apparently pigeon and dove are two words for what is technically the same family of birds. All the information is on the Wikipedia site, as always. :)

I can't wait for you to come visit so we can have real life conversations like this! Woo!!
