Though I neither practice nor understand any of these things (at least not during the day), I’ve come up with an excellent idea for anyone who does. It’s covert, organic, and disgusting, and a creative way to destroy any major urban area. Gentlemen, I give you: the Pigeon Bomb.
Now, it's not really a bomb, per se. But to help explain it, here's an outline of the eureka moment itself:
1) Boy, I hate how pigeons are both gross and everywhere.
2) Man, I wish I could feed those pigeons something to make them all explode.
3) Oh wait. I forgot. Pigeons are everywhere.
4) So exploding them all would cause a lot of inadvertent destruction and have very serious implications for the city.
5) …I must somehow use this discovery for good?
Naysayers might note: “Hey! The pigeon’s capacity for destruction has already been explored!” or "Science doesn’t work like that! or "That’s terrorism!” And to them I can only say: “Yes!” or “I love Snopes too!” or “Oops!”
So I guess that leaves us with the important question:
Is an awesome idea that would only hurt people still awesome?
What’s the sound of one tree clapping its hands in the woods if there’s no one there to hear it?
And what if the clapping tree falls on the Pope who was there in the woods shitting? Did the Pope hear it make a sound? Does the tree go to hell? Where am I?

While playing my own version of Guess That Headline!, I correctly guessed that a blog headline like this belonged to none other than Chris Principe -- mostly because there were no references to Yankees, Scandinavia, Jeff's awesome dad, and/or "Snakes On A Plane."
Thought from an ecological perspective:
There's a hell of a lot of them. They're eating something, so they're being supported by perhaps two pigeon bodyweights per month of biomass of whatever that is.
It's not all old ladies feeding them bread, so just imagine another squijillion pigeon body weights of, er, "biomass" on the streets.
Alternately, driving them out of the niche would create a big opportunity for their most direct competitor...
...which I strongly suspect to be rats.
