I just had the weirdest thing happen to me. I have a pretty set routine in the morning that includes about a 25 minute bus ride to get over to where I work. This morning as we bounced down the road in our Tata bus, I sat by the window listening to my MP3 player and dozing. The sun was just beginning to creep over the horizon and I opened an eye slightly to look out the window and see where we were when all of a sudden *WHAM!* a pigeon just smashed into the window right in front of my face and exploded in a mass of flying feathers. Half-asleep as I was, it scared the crap outta me.

How a pigeon can fly into the side of a bus cruising along at 45 mph hard enough to explode in a mass of feathers is beyond me, maybe Darwin really was on to something. It sucked that the pigeon died but after a couple of minutes, everyone on the bus was just laughing uncontrollably. I guess some stuff is just a whole lot funnier when you’re tired.
