<p>Today, June, Friday the 13, is <a href="http://nationalpigeonday.blogspot.com/2008/04/national-pigeon-day-itinerary.html">National Pigeon Day</a>. Yay! While <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/06/08/pigeons_yn.php">some of you detes</a>t one of "nature's most successful creatures," today we stand up for the adorable little winged creatures. After all, they've done everything from helping "soldiers behind enemy lines" to providing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAWcqwib9-Y">fecal-based comic relief</a>.</p>

<p>How to celebrate? Well, New York Times suggests reading <i>The Pigeon</i>, a 667-page encyclopedia devoted to the creature, or <a href="http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/its-national-pigeon-day/">by feeding one</a>. And we totally agree! </p>

<p>But how about you? How will you celebrate? (Please keep the "flying-rats" hate speech to a minimum, you hateful meanies.)</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
