Bird Brain

A Burbank businessman has been arrested for feeding pigeons. He may get up to 6 months in prison, and a $1,000. fine*. I have nothing against feeding these flying lab rats of bacterial plague, but I think this man deserves a nice long vacation in Gitmo. Feeding birds near an airport has to be the stupidest idea to come along since teaching Saudi's how to fly a jumbo jet, and skipping the lesson on how to land.




Mmm they must have had chicken for lunch, there's wings
everywhere

Bee Jerky

A Queens N.Y. resident was given a $2,000. fine for failing to water his bees*. Is this some kind of crazy animal cruelty law I don't know about, and how did the inspector know the bees didn't have enough water? Maybe they were so dehydrated they turned into Bee Jerky.
