Apparently it was illegal to keep Homing Pigeons, as they were needed for the War Effort.

..So.....a Very Important Man From The War Ministry would knock on your door and demand that all the Pigeons were set free...

...which they were...

Guess what...

...as soon as The Very Important Man From The War Ministry left...

They all came back Home again!... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D...!

..probably... ;)...!

I have to say I chuckled at the paragraph talking about bioweapons. To the best of my knowledge pigeons already are bioweapons, ask Nelson on his column ;) ;D

Muphry's Law in full effect  ;D

Could they not have encouraged everyone to keep the pigeons? They're horrific birds, and now they've spread!
