Location: 6 String Ranch | I had a 60 Caddy conv once and had it repainted just before shipping to the north. While in the shippers lot it got hit by a bird in the middle of the hood. They put it under an awning to be nice to me! Bird spoo and fresh paint don't do well together. They refused to pay for a new paint job and I wound up selling the car. Bastids! |

Little wonder considering what those pigeons eat. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | When I was a teenager and wearing glasses I was accross the street from home. I got it right on my right eyelash and right lens of my glasses. Luckily I was basically home and I cleaned up right away. I also grew up hearing that when a bird sh@ts on you it is some form of good luck.
I first thought is was a chinese superstition. There is a chinese delicacy that is called birds nest soup. My mother tried to slip that one by me at dinner once. I was a picky eater at that time and there was no way I way going to drink something that smelled like/looked like it.
I also heard the good luck thing from various other ethnic backrounds. |

Location: NJ | I was walking through UnionSquare park in Manhattan last year . . .
I heard a loud "rustling" in trees above me and "Bang!" . . it felt like somebody'd just run up and slapped me on the top of my head with a closed fist!
I spun around, and there on the walkway was a dazed squirrel furiously shaking his head before he staggered-off into the bushes . . . |

Location: Marlton, NJ | When I was installing my car stereo last year, I was crouched in the passenger seat with the passenger door open and the window up - I hear this "Thwack" and feel something graze my head - I look up and there's a "stain" on my window... I look down and there's an unconscious bird laying on the floor of the car.
The kid's tried to save it... to no avail :( |

Location: big island | reminds me of fabio on the photo shoot roller coaster ride a few years ago. he had beautiful women sitting to his left and his right and as the coaster is descending rapidly fabio had a head on collision with a goose. they found the goose dead at the bottom of the tracks and fabio had a nice gash on his forehead. now i ain't a fabio fan, but i used to sell the fine art of pino daeni, who had used fabio for many romance novel covers. |

NUTHIN' beats BronxZooMonkeyPoo!!! There is no way that that sentence could be defended in a court of law. |

You made me remember what happened to my sister in Florida. When I was nine and my sister was ten years old. We went to Monkey Jungle in Miami.
I have not been there sinse but at that time you walk in what amounts to a caged walk way. My sister looked up to watch a monkey. He stopped above her and you guessed it BOMBS away. I can't remeber exactly where she got it but I just couldn't stop laughing after it happened. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | As for the bird's nest soup, my mother-in-law was trying to convince me it was a delicacy and I ate it. It's not that great. It's made out of swallow vomit that's been scrapped off a cave wall. |
