Post subject: Bird dropping falls in Cyndi Lauper's mouth.

Cyndi Lauper has gone above and beyond what should be expected from a performer.
The Boston Herald reports Lauper was performing at a concert sponsored by a radio station WXKS when a bird relieved itself over her head.
It's bad enough that it hit Lauper. It's even worse knowing Lauper had her mouth open for a high note and the bird made a one-in-a-million shot.
Lauper delicately turned away from the crowd and wiped her tongue on her shirt - and finished the set. |

| I just want to say, damn those birds. It's funny this was posted, b/c abouit two weeks ago, I was driving with my window down, and a bird took a shit, at a perfect 45 degree angel, to hit me in the shoulder, in a moving vehicle at 40 MPH. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? |

The important thing to ask isn't what the odds are. It's how many chances those birds have. I try not to think about it myself, because then birds would be even scarier.
As for my own "the sky is falling" story, I was hit by a falling branch as I walked under a tree. I've never seen that tree drop so much as a twig, except when my head discovered that a 4' long stick wanted in.

I got hit right in the head with a good sized bird turd once. You'd be surprised out how much force those things can pack (remember that they're decently high up and flying upwards of 20 mph). Felt like a small rock hitting me.

This reminds me of something from a few years back. Didn't Fabio get nailed in the face by a goose while he was on a roller coaster?

| I was cruising down a hill on a bike a few years back and one nailed me on the hand. How? just HOW? my hand isn't that big of a target. We should capture these birds and put them in fighter jets and send em to Iraq |

In case you didn't understand previously, there's a lot of bird crap falling at any given time. Yes, the odds are low that any given drop will hit a person, but 0.001% * 100000 bird droppings = 100% chance of someone getting hit.
