Hey Barry,
I said that my pigeons were SUPER CLEVER!!!! I know about homing
pigeons, but, my pigeons have a disfunctional personality and think
they have more then one home... you just go like:
OWNER: "now, you're steve, and you home is in cupertino...."
PIGEON: "Gurl! Gurl!"
OWNER: "repeat my name is steve, my home is in cupertino...."
PIGEON: "Gurl! Gurl!"
OWNER: "my name, is, steve..."
PIGEON: "Gurlpertinoo"
OWNER: "Off you go boy!"
After the piegon arrives...
OWNER: "Okay, good boy, take a pigeon cookie (or whatever pigeon eats)"
PIGEON: "Gurlpertino"
OWNER: "Now, you're Larry and your home is in california..."
PIGEON: "Gurlpertinooo"
OWNER: "Larry, in california..."
PIGEON: "GOORGLE!!!!"
an so on....
man I really should not write emails before coffee.

The pigeon - airplane metaphore was certainly well contrived by
Andre but care should be taken in copying it literally (n.b. Peter

Pigeons CANNOT make round trips or even deliver outgoing messages!
If you want one to carry a message you must first take the bird to
the starting point (probably by plane), attach the message and then
send it home (hence the name 'homing pigeon').
That is: only the owner of the pigeon can receive a message
carried by it and if they try to send OUT a message the bird will
just fly in circles with it around their own house!
Internet-wise this would be like taking a blank message by hand, or
snailmail, to a friend and waiting for them fill it in and send it
back by email!
As for the Senators discorse I can only add the Italian Parliament
Member's declaration that "internet should be taught in schools",
whatever that means, anyway most teachers would probably have to
learn from the students!
"Every Government should carry a Health Warning"
OK, I'm rambling again.
Thanks for all the kind answers to my first 'ramblings'
Barry
