“…and large numbers where the head should be.”

regarding charles’ note on pigeons, i’d like to note that these parisian beasts are the best proof that normal market economics just refuse to function in france:

assuming demand stays constant, as supply goes up, the price decreases.

yet pigeon remains an expensive delicacy here. this shouldn’t happen! there are pigeons everywhere! in the interest of french consumer protection, something must be done! we must kill the pigeons! all of them!

okay, so maybe the pigeons shouldn’t all be killed. but still, there’s a reason why they call them “rats with wings”.
