Discovery Brings Us One Step Closer To "Milking" Pigeons
Are you tired of boring old milk in your cereal? Is the half and half in your coffee leaving you flat? If so, the recent discovery of the gene responsible for pigeon crop "lactation" might be the good news you've been waiting for. While mammals are the only animals that produce true milk, a number of birds produce a nutritious, liquid "crop milk" for their chicks. From the article: "The idea of drinking pigeon milk may bring a shudder to every sane and rational person in the world, but it's actually quite nutritious. Although it's high in fat, to help the young squabs develop fast, it's also packed full of antioxidants and immune-system-boosting proteins."
Pigeon Milk? Seriously? That's what they're working on?
How about working on a way to keep them from crapping all over my balcony? I've begun calling it the poop deck.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
That's why I only drink human milk. It can be tough to find, but you can find pretty much anything on Craigslist.
"Fuck", "cunt", "cock" and "prolapsed asshole" are not censorship fodder on slashdot. Nor is "nipple".
Unless you are an AC. I fucking hate ACs.
