Would've been funnier if they used Carrier Pigeon Internet ProtocolA Durban IT company pitted an 11-month-old bird armed with a 4GB memory stick against the ADSL service from the country's biggest web firm, Telkom.
Winston the pigeon took two hours to carry the data 60 miles - in the same time the ADSL had sent 4% of the data.
Pshaw. You just have an inferiority complex. You wish you owls could be as cool as pigeons.It's a silly and useless test, though. I mean, it's cool for comparison purposes and as a way of saying they're slow,but it doesn't say anything.
Who determined it was 60 miles? Why 4 GB?
Decide with a 1GB file, and transfer them from one side of SA to the other (1100 miles) and we'll see who wins. *shrug* The internet wasn't invented to connect a city with the next; but to connect a city to the world.

I was reading about this shit the other day. Animals in warfare, and particularly those that received Honors.Dude, we have a frickin' MEMORIAL STATUE for the carrier pigeon in the World War here in Brussels. There's just no love for us owls anywhere :waah:
